Hello,
Feeling of holding food in stomach relieved by vomiting only and white stool indicate one of the following:
The most probable causes can be duodenal obstruction which can be within such as stricture due to ulcer or due to rare causes such as pancreatic problems like mass and so on.
Hence I would advise you the following:
- Stool tests particularly for bile salts and pigments.
- Contrast enhanced CT scan of abdomen, MRCP and also may need upper GI Endoscopy, ERCP and thus get an appropriate diagnosis.
This will give the proper diagnosis and thus will get a plan for further management. If caner is found he may need a major surgery if operable.
Please get these things done as early as possible so that a proper management can be done at the earliest without wasting time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
