I am concerned about potential pancreatic issues due to six weeks of abdominal and back pain, constipation, sensitivity to spicy foods, and a slight weight loss while on a keto diet. My CBC was good, total bilirubin was 1.2, and other liver enzymes were normal. An ultrasound was done but results will take five days. I am 60 years old with a BMI of 27, good health, and have had IBS with diarrhea in the past. No nausea, vomiting, or fever. A CT scan was denied by insurance for now. What should I do next?

I have a 6-year-old boy who has been experiencing bright red blood in his stool during bowel movements. This is a repeating issue. His stool is not hard, and he has not had any past illnesses. He has not been on any medications, and no tests have been conducted. What could be causing this and what should I do?
