@sub12. If it’s an autoimmune disease, I can take a long time to diagnose, unfortunately. My symptoms all started out as GI also but I was finally diagnosed with brain lesions. I went to a university medical center and have gotten great care. You might also think of going to a large medical center. And start keeping a journal of your symptoms, what’s happening with your GI tract, everything you can think of. It’s best to be totally prepared when you actually get to see a doctor.

You're right. I was told by someone that autoimmune diseases usually takes years before they diagnose it unless the doctor is keen and more dedicated to each patients he/she sees unfortunately the doctors from where I live are always in a rush and not really looking on their patients charts and take time to study your case until he/she sees you on that day. We only have 1 university here in Nevada and most doctors are only looking at what they are specialize with rather than looking at it in an integrative approach knowing that our organs and body systems affect one from the other just like Pancreas and gallbladder or stomach or duodenum things like those or nerves that is connected to GI motility. Most of the time doctors I consulted with don't like to be asked with questions which I have experienced with so many doctors I've seen that is why I have no choice but to rely on Google to search for answers but I usually get infos from reliable sources like NIH or Mayo, John Hopkins, Mount Sinai, UCLA, UChicago Medicine, Michigan University or other university medical centers websites that I can get info from. I have been journaling everything since my illnesses started from the very beginning but the doctors I've seen don't even care to look at it anyways. I think the only doctors who do what you said are those who are in a reputable University Medical Centers and research facilities type of Hospital like those that I've mentioned. Right now I have issues with my lungs and heart, upon googling I stumbled an Australian research that the Pulmonary-Intestinal problems are related due to its similar mucosal lining and because of its similarities the symptoms and health concerns can co-exist at the same time kind of like the cystic fibrosis from what I understand. I'm trying to find doctors that will really have an intensive experience but it's hard to find it here. I even trying to find medical doctors but practices functional medicine at the same time because they look at the entire functional side of our medical illnesses rather than just the medical concerns but it's hard to find it as well. My financial capabilities hinders my way to go out of State and I don't have any support group with me nor friends who can help me go to other states to seek medical help. My medical illnesses have affected my personal life. I wish I can just talk to you over the phone because right now I feel I needed a friend who can relate with me. Thank you for taking your time to read my long response, hope I did not tire you or bore you from reading it. Have a wonderful days ahead.
