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.

Well, I suppose anything is possible, but gut issues are not one of the things I ever heard attributed to heavy metals.
Do you think maybe being inactive (housebound) for so long is part of the problem? Our digestion doesn't work very well if we are not upright and moving.
How much do you walk each day?
