My opinion? Your provider believes it’s okay to insult the patient. Like you, I record dates and changes in my functioning (side effects). It provides factual data that a medical professional should rely on to determine care.

I want to a gastroenterologist after working with my PCP for months trying solutions to my stomach issue (tests, FODMAP, etc). My PCP is excellent but decided a specialist was needed. The gastroenterologist, after talking with me for a short time, said “old people like you usually take Imodium” (68 yo). I looked at her and said I would not be doing any follow-up care with her.

I hope you can find another doctor that respects the info you’ve gathered, and listens to what is happening to your body.
