Yes, I’m learning that they do not like the fact that I do my own research. I recently Asked my gastro about using different supplements (L-carnosine) to help heal my stomach lining and she laughed me off. I was put on a PPI and it gave me terrible heartburn which I never had before and I was told to stay the course. Stayed on it for a month and It eventually got so bad I had to take myself off of it. I learn things about my conditions every day as they are ever changing and it’s sad that the docs trusted to treat you aren’t doing the same.

Oh ya..I've heard several times..don't diagnose yourself! or stay off the internet!! Like some people I'm sure are unhealthy or obsessive about it but I got problems...if no one else is going to help...I'll help myself. And there is nothing wrong with advocating for yourself and learning. I've had to push for myself to cause anything to happen. I was young when my chronic journey started and I had already been diagnosed with depression and anxiety...so I was brushed off for yeeaarrrs.
