Deep breath, please Tina. I know that helpless, hopeless feeling and it is not good.
How is your doc helping you find the cause of the gut pain?

My GI finally told me she thought (all my gut issues could be caused from my hip”…she retired before I got to see her again.
Haven’t seen a GI since…all they ever did were colonoscopies “for years”.
So obviously my next step was Ortho surgeon, who left after our 1st follow-up…he did give me orders for a blood test, that I believe is open ended (no exp. date). I had a blood test for metals…the numbers were dropping.
