7 months agoI’ve been following your journey with this and I feel for you. I have mystery GI problems too (not as bad though) and my experience is that it’s nigh impossible to get a proper diagnosis for GI things because they all have the same batch of symptoms.
They threw the book at me, full colonoscopy, CAT scans, blood work, stool tests, etc. More than a year and $4000+ later the best I got was “Idk bro, good luck”.
I wound up doing an elimination diet on my own and found what foods trigger my issues. No real diagnosis beyond blanket IBS though.
Hope you find your answers.
Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There’s so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it’s not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?
