Hi @wishingonastar This sounds super interesting and no doubt you have had quite the journey getting to your diagnosis. I do not have this diagnosis but have been trying to learn about how the brain and gut are impacting my health. I am going to stay tuned…

You might find others by going to the home page and typing search criteria in the box at the top.

I did find resources you may find interesting:
- Mayo Clinic’s approach to DGBI: https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(22)00618-8/fulltext
-research is happening: https://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/enteric-neuroscience-program/overview
-gut brain overview: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/the-gut-brain-connection

Has this been a long journey for you? What is your next step?

Thank you so much for responding Janell, and for sending those links. How kind of you to be a volunteer mentor. Yes, this has been a long journey to get this diagnosis. Mayo was fantastic and we will follow their protocol. I am guessing there is going to be more research on the mind-gut disorder. I hope we hear from others on their journeys as well.

Thank you so much for your comments and good wishes. I will check out Pristiq, and all the best to you.

Has anyone been diagnosed? I went to Mayo and this is the only thing they could come up with. I have been sick for years and got no answers. I guess it’s kind of a new thing and they are still learning about it.
