I have been very worried about hurting his feelings by leaving him. I know you may not be able to understand that, but I kept wanting him to work for me...and to help me before I gave up on him. I think he is a good man, deep down, as he has never charged me for a visit and did an endoscopy on me for free because I have no money.
Also, I just realized that I didn't think I deserved to have another doctor. I trusted the doctor more than I trust myself. I think there is something wrong with me since he is a doctor and very intelligent.
As far as the delayed gastric emptying diet, I've been afaid to go low fiber as my constipation is awful and my doctor does not want to prescribe Miralax...so I might never go if I don't eat fiber.
I'll let the new doctor advise me...if I don't chicken out seeing him. I'm already feeling sort of sad and disloyal to my old GI doctor. I know he really cares about me deep down and I don't want to hurt him.
