Exhausted from digestive conditions
Digestive Health | Last Active: Aug 3, 2019 | Replies (38)Comment receiving replies
I wish I was closer to a major hospital to possibly get some answers. But I’m getting so tired of this that it may be worth it to just get on a plane and go. How do I find top GI doctors? So I can research them.
I want to be able to enjoy life. I know I’ll probably never be cured but I need relief and help getting thru these “episodes” and no one has a clue at this point because nothing is working.
I really appreciate you taking an interest, any suggestions are welcome, and the support means a lot. Thank you

@bentley33 You are welcome. I guess you just really hit a spot with me since I too went so long with no diagnosis. It's something I am very sympathetic to.
Am I correct in thinking you live in the Omaha area? If you google "top rated gastroenterology hospitals" you will get numerous sites that rate hospitals. Mayo is coincidentally right at the top. The US News site lists 50 hospitals. If one of those is reasonably close to you then I would consider going there. Looking at a map of the US, Mayo may well be your closest and best option. Other than Connect I have no connection to the Mayo Clinic, I live in NH and use Mass General, but there is no denying that Mayo is always one of the top-rated medical centers, along with Cleveland Clinic, Mass General, and Johns Hopkins.

I hope you do proceed with this and get a good diagnosis and can find some help. You should not have to go through what you are going through. Keep us appraised of your progress.
