Hi, @hgarm – since this conversation has talked about feeling hopeless due to ongoing digestive issues, I wanted to let you know I changed the discussion title to “Starting to feel hopeless: Digestive issues unresolved.”

Many members, like @enska, @lioness, @gailb, @parus and others have offered good advice, as have members in the Digestive Health discussions.

You mentioned that to get into a digestive diseases/GI specialist, you will have to wait to get a referral, and your appointment with your general practitioner isn’t till mid-Feb. You also talked about being a student. Would you have access to a student health center that may be able to see you sooner? How are you feeling today?
