Know how you feel, it is ruining my life. Was dx with diverticulitis or the other I don't remember. I eat well and stopped drinking alcohol. I do smoke though. Gastro doctors are horrible, pay for pay for that.

Oh my gosh! Same here! Told me on last year's endoscopy I had ALD ( alcoholic liver disease) , I'm turning 64 and started drinking when I was 17, so I guess it all caught up with me. I stopped drinking as well, but still smoke. Don't feel any better though.
With all the technology, I don't understand why these GI Drs. can't help so many of us. And I was told they don't do "direct admission" into hospital anymore; have to go to ER,; at least in CT which I actually did; what a waste of time and money! And your name is Debbie, too? Wow ! I just joined this group yesterday and you were the first person I reached out to. Thanks for that, Debbie. Wish we could find answers. Deb 🙏
