Fibromyalgia w/chronic pain, brain fog, GI issues, large weight gain

I have thought about a teaching hospital. Just don't know what type of doctors. Rheumatology has told me twice it's not them even though my PCP tells me to go there. Any suggestions - Do I go to a Neurologist, gastrointestinal, dietician or allergist?

The foods that I have found sensitivity have been high protein. Like eggs, chicken, black beans, lima beans, and whey.

I'm not sure that there is a specialist type of doctor that treats ME/CFS if that is what you have based on your symptoms. That's the reason why I mentioned seeking help a teaching hospital or major health facility like Mayo Clinic that uses a multidisciplinary teamwork approach to diagnosing and treating patients. The multidisciplinary concept originated with Mayo but I think most teaching hospitals and major health facilities use this approach when diagnosing difficult conditions.
