Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Well, I've been away from teh board for a week or so b/c I've been trying to find drs. and figure out my deal. Anyways I found an internist and she was very nice. she rec. I have an upper GI just to be safe and ran blood for celiac althought she didn't think I have. She also rec. a GI who she had rave reviews about. I also had gotten a rec. on Mon. from my CNM.

So i called and couldn't get in till May from teh dr. the CNM suggested but when i called for the other GI yesterday they had an opening this morning. Get ready for this...

he was terrible. He was interrupted in the middle of us talking and then told me to get undressed and he came back and examined me. then when I got dressed he came to talk and tell me things and in teh middle I interrupted to tell him all i've tried and he got annoyed and said " you didn't tell me this before." I was so pissed and I said right back " you didn't let me you walked out!" I used to be embarassed and shy with drs. now I don't give a ____.!! Anyays he told me to test to see if I'm lactose intolerance by drinking two glasses of milk in the morning. If i get diarrhea gas or pain then i'm LI!!! How do you lik that!!! So what do you think should I do this. I told him i don't eat dairy now so why does it matter he just said it would be good nutrition for me. Other than that he was worthless. He did say he would check my blood work from the other dr. but doesn't think celiac b/c I dn't have diarrhea. What is with drs. I didn't even get a chance to voice my concerns and ask my questions. One more thing I'm so sorry this is long.

Has anyone noticed that when they eat more they are better? I know that sounds crazy but I was recently told to gain weight and the few days hta I ate more I felt better. Is it possible to not have enought in you for your digestive systme to work properly? I wante to ask the dr. this today but well ...!!
thanks for listening sorry to go on but I couldn't believe my experience (well, actually i'm not surprised)!!! I hpoe everyone is feeling well! Oh, today is day 27 for the hypno tapes!
