I spent 4K out of pocket on 3 tests at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. It took 7 months to finally get appt .After 5 other Gastro Dr’s in 2 states including Duke University, I thought this is my last and best try to finally help with my many chronic digestive disorders that were diagnosed thru the years.
Well Mayo although very professional, did not and could not help me .
He suggested a few weird things to me like speech therapy ( I speak perfectly normal), Diaphragm breathing coaching ( I already know how to do that ), or try another antidepressant ( no thanks )! I have Gastritis, Esophagitis, Class B GERD, diverticulosis, small hiatal hernia, small flat polyps on my stomach lining, I deep wet belch over 2000 x day / night , my gut ( intestines)churns bad 24/7 and sometimes so loud it wakes me up . I sleep poorly even taking Ambien. I have cleanest diet one can have and have done over 15-20 tests and everything holistic you can do . Started at 52 now I’m 60 . It’s ruined everyday for 8 years.
My Sons big wedding 💒 is next Sat and I’m so nervous about the whole weekend!
I pray 🙏 that you find the right Dr. To help you . So far I haven’t. Not sure where to go from here . It’s awful 😢.

I have many of the same things you have and many tests as well. Mine started when I was about your age. I belong to two different sites where we all share what works for us?
I have been thinking that we should be looking for a common thread that brought it to this point. I am wondering if the overuse of antibiotics for a chronic sinus infections I had?

Sorry for all you’re going through. Speech therapy can help many issues other than talking. Do some research. Maybe learning a different way to eat or something else that can be addressed by the therapist could help.
