@hgarm I'm so sorry I wish I knew what to tell you but when you see your Dr ask him for a referral for Gastro Dr Are you near to Mayo Clinic in your area

@hgarm.
You can get Medicaid provided you don't make too much money. It's not about age. Medicare is age related. Check out Medicaid in your state.

In Ohio, for one person it used to about 1100 month for one person to get Medicaid. Plus some food help. Medicare is for over 65. But you should check it out because each state is different. In my opinion, the west side of Ohio has the best doctors and the north side of Ohio hospitals are not the best. Where you live makes a big difference for your health care from doctors. I wish doctors would stand up to the insurance companies. They deserve much better respect. I had a surgeon who was Excellent in surgery but had the worst bedside manners ever. He told me the doctors I had butchered me badly but he would never tell it. He was very honest to me. God wasn't finished with me yet!!!! Now we have attorneys in commercials suing doctors all the time. It is disgraceful. Just think about it -Doctors were taught to save a life- Now they are forced to late-term abortions were they have to clasped the head of an infant- Suction it out body part by body part to make sure the patients don't become septic and die from leftover baby parts. Hell, some still grew inside of them and lived as Disabled. Doctors deserve better treatment themselves. Just my opinion. They should too! Check out your choices with insurance programs
