Oh, how I hate Gastro-docs. I went to see one last spring... after I told my long, embarrassing story to his nurse, the doc walked in and said "So, what seems to be the trouble?" I had to go through it all again, but of course, this time, I only had about 45 seconds because he wasn't really interested. When I told him that I felt "toxic", he rolled his eyes. When I told him that I'd taken three years of daily antibiotics in my early 20's, he said he didn't see any reason why that would affect my digestion. When I told him how I controlled my diet, he said "Well, you shouldn't be afraid of food.". At the end of the 5 minute visit, he told me to go get some Metamucil, take it twice a day and come back in six weeks.
Big help. I"ve suffered with IBS for almost 20 years and he thinks taking Metamucil might help??? Well, no, it didn't.
I did not come back in six weeks and tried to find another, more sympathetic GI doc. Well, in my small town, there's only one GI practice, so I called them back and tried to get in to see another doctor. Nope, against office policy. I can't switch docs.
I hate them.
