ps. your right not to settle. Do not settle for a diagnosis of "IBS". Get with medical folks who will figure this out for you. I shudder to think where Id be had I not gone to Mayo. The journey to there is hard and it was discouraging at times and if it werent for my family and friends and faith, I wouldnt have made it. So, keep strong and keep fighting for health. You have a right to a physical quality of life so dont settle for less than that!

So sorry that I missed your comment! Wow. I'm so glad that they were able to help you and get to the bottom of your illnesses. It's ridiculous the lengths patients have to go through to get a diagnosis and start feeling better. I have been seeing a new doctor who is trying out different medications with me (no luck so far) and he scheduled a colonoscopy for me on Tuesday! I've been dealing with stomach issues for 10 years and no other doctor would give me a colonoscopy because I'm "young" and I "look fine." If I don't receive any diagnosis/improvements in my symptoms within the next few months I will definitely try to get into the Mayo Clinic. I'm having a very rough day today, flare wise, so your comment really means a lot. Thank you. 🙂
