Diarrhea after eating, abdominal pain.

Oh, okay, wasn't sure if you noticed that. And yes, if you aren't getting anywhere with a Dr., I think it's wise to change. Someone else might pick up on something, but whatever the case, you aren't helping yourself by staying with someone who isn't helping. Something is causing the inflammation, and that's what needs to be explored.

I agree with everything- seems like a parallel to my journey. I have also “wasted” many years to confirm what I had.
@rodgers87 it definitely sounds as if you have a chronic gastrointestinal inflammation- unnamed so far.
I agree that you have to get copies of all tests and procedures done and proceed to make an appointment with a university medical center or Mayo. I did that, being seen at Mayo several times with repeat imaging, labs and endoscopy and colonoscopies as my symptoms waxed and waned. The problem comes when they know something is wrong but can’t name it with evidence based medicine. The only thing that actually made a difference was prednisone and budesonide to a lesser extent. In my opinion, this meant I had a chronic inflammation. Symptoms would go away while I was on it, I would feel “normal” and lose weight! Usually the opposite with steroids.
It took a long time before one could get a name for my illness- due to more recent research. I chose to go on immunosuppressive medication for several months- and it was gone! It was rough and risky- had many infections.
Just keep going now because the body gets weaker the longer you live with this chronic inflammation. Good luck!
