I see. That sounds very frustrating. There are many reasons for diarrhea, including anxiety, irritable Bowel, etc. Can your primary at least provide guidance on treating your symptoms?

My primary has done all she can do. General Blood tests, stool samples were "normal". No medicines are working to curb the issue. Having diarrhea for over a month is not normal and my primary said I must see a GI doctor. I have asked for a referral as the GI doctor who performed my colonoscopy has been unresponsive, not concerned. In fact, she has been dismissive and rude to say the least. I have a therapist and this is not due to anxiety. I simply want answers and relief. So far, that eludes me. I am wondering if somehow my colon was damaged during the procedure. As mentioned, I woke up during the procedure. The excruciating pain of this caused me to practically jump off the gurney. This should never have happened and am wondering if this is the reason the GI doctor will not speak to me. Merely a speculation on my part. I just want help and I am getting nowhere.
