Does anyone have short bowel syndrome?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (87)Comment receiving replies
My GI doctor wants to say that my Short gut syndrome symptoms are a mental problem. My Short gut syndrome symptoms are not a mental problem they are medical problems that should be treated medically for. I continue to suffer every day with symptoms. It is hard to live alone because of my health issues. It is hard to cook and clean because of my health conditions. My family members don't understand my health issues.

@tjanet - I'm so sorry for your suffering. It's also hard when your family does not understand your health issues.
If you are feeling like this GI doctor is misunderstanding your short gut syndrome, are you looking into getting a second opinion from another doctor in your network?
Also, are you feeling as though your breathing and heartrate issues are significant enough to warrant a visit to be checked by a medical professional?
