You need to find a hospital that has a "Charity Care" program.  They are in every state.  That way, you will not have to pay to see the doctor or have tests done, and they even help you with meds sometimes.  Do you live in Alabama by any chance?  I'm confused as to why they would take back a diagnosis.  Do some research before you go back.  Look up Habba Syndrome, Celiac Disease, Crohn's, IBS and Ulcerative Colitis.  Make a diary of your symptoms and what you eat every day.  The more prepared you are, the more they will take you seriously.  Often, after having kids, you can develop problems with your gallbladder that can cause diarrhea.  HOWEVER, having your gallbladder removed ALSO causes chronic diarrhea.  Don't be a guinea pig for doctors.  Know your information before you go in so that they do not practice on you!

you have a tough decision to make! if only it was easy to tell based on those symptoms. i know that i have crohn's, even though my gi, who dx'd me in the first place, still had doubts after my 2nd colonoscopy. the bleeding was what brought me to get checked in the first place, & like you, my passageway was too narrow. it was ok the 2nd time, but for some reason, my gi thought i should have gone in remission within those 2 years. strangely enough, i've never had diarrhea. but everything else is there; pain especially. if you decide to see a dr, make sure you do research & have many questions ready. for example, why did the dr say you didn't have it. also, when you do your research, you will find that other less severe problems can cause these symptoms. hopefully this is just ibs, which is not as demanding. best of luck
