Good suggestions are getting your primary to start ordering some fecal and blood testing and radiology tests. It’s easier to get into see a gastroenterologist if you have abnormal test results. Your primary may have to call to push for an early appointment. That’s what I suggested to my primary and my rheumatologist also called. Suddenly an appointment opened up that very day, imagine that. It seems GI doctors make a lot of money from uncomplicated colonoscopies. As soon as my Crohn’s became complicated with extra GI seauelae they weren’t as eager to schedule me even though I had been a patient for 15 years.
