A couple days ago I had my appt with my new Gastroenterologist. Well it was a twofer.
Two idiots at one time. Neither had any bed-side manner.
Instead of helping me get better grip on my over all situation with ordering updated tests. They just do the bare minimum: bloodwork, DIY stool sample test, FODMAPS. The Dr, sends the lab orders to the lab for me to have the blood drawn. While I also get handed the DIY stool test kit. What fun that will be poop, scoop, pack-N-seal. I need to get it to the lab in two hours of less while keeping it cool. If not acceptable, I'll have to do it again.
Oh what fun this will be traveling on public transit.
I was handed a couple pages about FODMAPS, told try this and come back in two months.
I have no problem trying the FODMAPS, it's the way they approached it. it would have been nice to get a test(s) to co-inside with the FODMAPS to help eliminate the worst of the worst first. Will I go back to these Gastroenterologists, I don't know. I'm no better or worse than I was before I scene them. Well, maybe a bit worse. Now that I have the added stress of their DIY stool test I need to get done in the coming days.
The doctors want us to be sick, while the insurance companies complain that we are. We can't win.
I may have to go directly to an allergy testing site to get the tests myself.
But that may not be covered by my insurance.
