**NEWS FLASH**
DARWIN, Doctors are now saying that the upper abdominal pains experienced last week by traveler Andrew Collins can not be attributed to gallstones. After a complete review of the test results from an ultra-sound and blood work, doctors were unable to detect the presense of gallstones and both liver and pancreatic functions were normal and white blood cell counts show no sign of infection.
Sources close to Collins say he is relieved but embarrassed by the hastle and stress he's caused those at home. After sending many email dispatches and postcards to friends and loved ones letting them know of his troubles, the young American traveler, originally from the Boston area, is now flushed and red but extremely happy to be on his way, healthy and fit.

Hey Andy, thats great to hear!! I would imagine that gallstones would be pretty unbearable. What to you think it was?
From Andy: Sounds like it could have been bile sludge, which doesn't show up in the tests but can cause the same symptomes, hopefully the clean living will clear it up.
