Your symptoms sound daunting. My mom used to have similar ones. She was diagnosed with IBS fluctuating between diarrhea and constipation. She’s normal right now. No idea why. The only change is her B12 treatments.

Have you considered going to Mayo Clinic?

I am looking at B12 treatments as well.

I am in touch with the doctors I have at a research center (affiliated with a famous medical school) in the city I am in; I am happy with them. While I respect the Mayo Clinic a great deal, I am not sure the extra expense would yield more information than I am currently getting, as I have two great researchers as it is (I am blessed / lucky to have been able to work with them).

As you know, there are too many bills and not enough time, and since the Covid era finances have never recovered 100% for me. Unless there is something more dramatic in the future I will continue to work with the team that I have. My energy levels are better, it's the bowel and bladder issues that are stressful. Considering that the initial concern was cancer, intermittent incontinence I far less serious, but can be very emotional to deal with at times. I am trying not to let it control my state of mind, and it is easier than before but still a challenge to accept.
