Hello @cotton,

Just wondering again, if you have a history of previous digestive tract problems, especially surgeries such as gallbladder surgery, etc.?

Many of us here on Mayo Connect have had difficult to diagnose problems and I appreciate the desire you have to find an answer. Keep advocating for yourself and keep asking questions!

@cotton @hopeful33250 has some good questions there, have you had problems before, or surgery to which it could possibly be related?

With these problems going on for so long make sure you find a hospital that has an excellent reputation for gastroenterology. I generally google to make sure I am on the right track. Fortunately, I live in southern NH so Boston is about 55 miles down the road and I use Mass General for just about everything. On most rating sites they are in the top 3 hospitals in the country for most specialties, along with Mayo and Cleveland Clinic, and Johns Hopkins generally comes in up there or in fourth place. I know nothing about hospitals out your way, but teaching hospitals are generally a good place to start.
