Trying to figure out my stomach issues
No bowel movement for 24 hours is not necessarily abnormal. The other symptoms may be related to an acute gastritis or stomach flu.

You should not necessarily request testing. You should allow a doctor, such as a gastroenterologist, to do a history and physical and make a determination as to what the diagnosis could be and what testing would be helpful.
This could be residual effects of an acute gastritis but a detailed history should be done.

Not sure what that could have been but it is not intestinal. The problem you describe would not be addressed by a gastroenterologist. It is more in the realm of sports medicine or orthopedics.
Concerned
May be a viral syndrome, including COVID or seasonal flu. This more than just a GI issue.
Blood in stool
Three days of diarrhea might be from food poisoning causing colitis, which can also cause bleeding. Hemorrhoids could also explain the bleeding.
Hemorrhoids

Very hard to say what that pain could be from. I would need to ask a lot of specific questions in order to try to determine if the pain is coming from the stomach, intestine or colon, or even the abdominal wall or elsewhere. The cat definitely has nothing to do with it.
Concerned
The symptoms are not suggestive of an intestinal issue. They are more likely neurological in origin.
Stomach pain
Not sure if it is your gallbladder, but the first step would be to get an ultrasound to see if you have any gallstones.

You need to see a GI doctor and probably will need to try a prescription laxative. In the meantime, most people are not aggressive enough with over the counter laxatives, so you can try using more Miralax, dulcolax, MOM, extra fiber, smooth move tea, e.g. 2 or more of these twice a day.
Will a biopsy report and pathology report have the same diagnosis?
A biopsy report and pathology are essentially the same thing. The "biopsy" is the tissue sample taken during the procedure. The "pathology" is what the tissue looks like under READ MORE
A biopsy report and pathology are essentially the same thing. The "biopsy" is the tissue sample taken during the procedure. The "pathology" is what the tissue looks like under the microscope. Thus, the "biopsy report" = the pathology report. The "diagnosis" is the overall decision of what the problem is, based on the history, physical exam, xrays, and pathology. In other words the diagnosis takes into account all aspects of the case. Pathology by itself does not necessarily provide a diagnosis.
Stomach swelling
I can't provide much advice without more information. It seems that the pains are related to movement and thus maybe not secondary to an intestinal problem.
Can I get Gastroparesis surgery
Gastroparesis does not cause constipation. The former refers to the stomach and the latter refers to the colon. Gastroparesis is a difficult problem, many times misdiagnosed or READ MORE
Gastroparesis does not cause constipation. The former refers to the stomach and the latter refers to the colon. Gastroparesis is a difficult problem, many times misdiagnosed or over-diagnosed, so I cannot say much without knowing specifically what testing has been done to prove if there is true gastroparesis. Make sure you have a high quality GI doctor that can give you clear answers, or get another opinion from an expert in GI motility.
Stomach flu
If you don't have fever and are able to eat and drink, then it's ok to return to school.
Pain in abdomen

Nausea
You need to try another medication to treat nausea. The psychiatrist can prescribe it, or you can see a primary care doctor or GI doctor for this.
Stomach sickness
You may have gotten a stomach bug or flu. It should go away after a few more days, but if it does not, then see a primary care doctor.
Abdominal pain
I cannot make a diagnosis based on your description of the symptoms alone. A good history and physical exam is the first step to making a diagnosis.
why do i feel sick when eating
You may have gotten a stomach bug or flu. You should see a pediatrician for a basic work up and determine if you need any other testing.
How to treat constipation and bloating
You should increase fruits in the diet, take more fiber and take Miralax and dulcolax. Laxative tea can also be helpful.
