Brief Answer:
Intestinal cancer would have been diagnosed by CT

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Small intestinal cancers are rare.
Large intestinal cancers present wit bleeding per rectum, alternate diarrhoea and constipation, distension of abdomen, vomiting etc.
Just pain in the abdomen cannot be cancer.
As CT Scan is normal, nothing to worry.
It could be due to infection of the gut or Irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS ).
I prescribe Pre and Probiotic capsule to my patients with similar complaints.
Nothing to worry.
If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
