Lots of tests ( pretty gross ones) diagnosed with IBS then later ulcerative colitis and finally crohn's disease. The entire process took about 3 years. <br />If I were you I'd find a new gastroenterologist and get another opinion. It was the 4th dr that finally got the correct diagnosis for me. It was frustrating but I was in the same place as you with food and that's no way to live. <br />Keep searching and be an advocate for yourself. Don't accept an "I don't know" diagnosis.Photos By Mamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354876812986087226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241161737267752730.post-65952040605510571242011-12-12T14:01:00.722-06:002011-12-12T14:01:00.722-06:00Oh, I'm so sorry, friend.
