  5. I'm curious about something that keeps coming up in my ultrasound scans. They always mention that the pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Is it normal to have gas around the pancreas, or should I be concerned about this? Can gas be around other organs too? I'm just trying to understand if there's anything I should be worried about.

The phrase "pancreas obscured by bowel gas" refers to the fact that the pancreas is not clearly visible on an ultrasound because gas in the bowel is blocking the view. This is a common occurrence and not necessarily abnormal
