Thank you Sue! I did see a gastroenterologist a couple years ago, but it definitely wasn't the right one. They did an upper endoscopy, tried a med, and then offered to take my gallbladder out and sent me on my way. Makes you not too excited to try again, but I definitely need to.
I have an appointment with my pulmo coming up, so will ask for sputum tests. They haven't done any since diagnosis and they never could tell me bacterial load/count, and said that is not done. I will push to see if they can send to a different lab. If I didn't have all of you saying some of these things are necessary & possible, I wouldn't know what to ask for so thanks to everyone here!!! I'm sure I am known as the "problem patient", but I'd rather be that and get the right care!
Thank you!
