I am sorry you are so frustrated. Can you see a different doctor? I agree, better to go to a different ER or ask for different doctors.
I hope you get treated better!

my gi problem are simple. when i eat and/or drink anything i get severe diarrhea. even the ensure plus isn't working. do to this i am dropping wt. like crazy and having to have iv fluids sometimes to replenish from dehydration.
w/ all that has been going on w/ my neuro stuff, i wonder if i don't have MS too. but the way my so called pcp is acting now. i have to worry how i am going to get the iv fluids i need if i need them again much less anything else. i refuse to go to the er. they really treated me like crap the last time i went into there and i refuse to go back.
Hi! I am so sorry you are having these problems. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of GI problems are you having? I only ask this because I have been having problems with my GI since high school. I have been to 4 different GI/Intestinal doctors in the past 5 years and had 3 colonoscopies and 1 upper GI. They all turned up fine, so I was diagnosed with IBS, but then my PCP said "No, I don't think it's IBS". So now I am left with nothing, no answers no help.
I have extremely horrible stomach pain, constipation and then diarrhea for like hours!! It doesn't matter what I eat, I've gone on liquid diets, high fiber, low fiber, gluten free, no dairy and so on. Nothing helps. I eat something that disagrees with me and I know within 10 minutes and I better be by the bathroom and alone otherwise people will think I'm dying. The pain is so bad that I will literally scream and cry.
Personally I think I have an area of my intestine that doesn't work properly or is somewhat blocked, I can fell it starting up by my lower left rib all the way down.
Now my PCP thinks it may be MS, but she doesn't know if my stomach problems would be MS, but that all my other symptoms match MS. Now I am going to a neurologist. We will see how that goes.
I want to let you know you are not alone!! I wish you the best of luck!!

I totally understand where you are coming from and I dont understand these drs at all.
I have seen my mom go through pain and sickness w/no dx for years and now I am starting to go through it myself although my journey is just starting
on the other had, my father, who does have significant health issues, was hospitalized routinely several years ago and run every test in the world on and the only thing different at that time was that he was OD'ing on his pain meds, klonipin and neurontin.
I was so angry that he was given so much great care and attention and his new symptoms were all from him taking too many meds while people like you, me and my mom can't even get a dr to listen.
