Gi doctor frustrations.

Post by armstrongpilot »

went to my gi today still trying to get relief. I've tried everything he has asked.....even when I knew it wouldn't help. Went a whole week no meds.....constant d. Then I tried a week with metamucil.....still constant d. Decided to go back to immodium so that I can at least function. He said that he has no idea what to do next. Recommended more steroids or that I try a regimen of laxatives to "clean me out". Either im constant d with no meds or constipated with meds.....can't find a middle ground. He says that he suspects i have ibs and not colitis due to not responding well to steroids or fiber.

Next week I have a mayo clinic appointment...maybe ill get answers there.
