Hello @amyp304 and welcome to Mayo Connect,

I certainly can sympathize with your problems. Multiple surgeries and scaring produce a lot of problems with digestion. I have had three surgeries for carcinoid cancer in the upper digestive tract and also have digestive problems. We do have some members who have had success in dealing with this. I'd like to invite @thull and @nancybev to post about their experiences as well.

@thull had surgery at Mayo within the past year that was quite helpful to her.

I am glad to hear that your doctor is pursuing a referral for you at Mayo. It sounds like a good plan.

In the meantime, could you share the type of dietary changes you have tried?

Have been on FODMAP diet
Every day I have to choose whether to eat and be in pain or eat and within 10-15 mins I'm perched back on my thrown for hours in pain

Mayo turned me down second time 😪
Reason being they thinking I'm still going to Nashville Disease Center TN My Gastro Dr referred me to Nashville because he didn't have the " extended colonoscopy scope" been scoped, tested .. Yada yada yada... Now Nashville said they would gladly give me referral to Mayo..Communication errors somewhere!!?
I made a promise to my husband, mother, children, and my PCP Dr.. That I would not give up fighting for a cure or at least little relief.. I have head several bouts of severe depression and gave up on life and even tried to take it from me.. Cause I felt like a human ginney pig.. Being past from one Dr to another cause they couldn't help me..But my PCP Dr told me he promised thank he wouldn't give up on me if I didn't give up either.. I AM GOING TO FIND SOMEONE who can tell me what's going on inside me and possibly help find a cure
