Have you been tested for arthritis and evaluated for
autoimmune inflammatory causes for your pain.?
Does your insurance and financial status prevent you
from getting another opinion or self referrals?

mild osteoartritis in hips excellerated for age. ive been tested for nearly all autoimmune inflammation causes due to ibs and sibo. i went out of pocket to another gi doc who dxed me with sibo and gave xifaxan. my pcp refused to do anything else because the first gi doc said the biopsy didnt account for my symptoms. my pathology report listed sibo as an option in the differential and said it would need clinical correlation.

i'm very tight on money right now.
