My stomach is unable to process most…
My stomach is unable to process most foods on this earth. I get severe nausea and bad headaches in relation to foods. This was proven at the Beaumont migraine clinic. Waited many months to be contacted by a Mater Gastroenterologist. I get a call in August. It’s a junior doctor. He asks loads of questions. Then he says he will book me in for gastroscopy and dietician in November. I get a letter. It advises A delay. Anyway the gastroscopy is eventually completed. I am to see a gastroenterologist as a follow up and feedback. He asks all the same questions again. Then he says the results are negative. He also says the results of a much earlier endoscope investigation of my lower bowel were also negative, so there is nothing they can do. It’s like thank you and goodbye. i reply that there is definitely something wrong with my digestion because some problem between my stomach and large intestine is poisoning my body. He calls the senior gastroenterologist. They come back and I get the same story. Basically I am blocked. They refused to check further. i asked what about food samples from my gut. What about stool tests. Could they work with other specialists? They said they had completed their work which was check my gastro intestinal tract end to end with a camera. No more. In the end they told me there was nothing more they could do and I need to go back to my GP. Whatever happened to doctors and specialist who work together to IDENTIFY AND RESOLVE a problem. Sorry but the quality of the gastro department at Mater is unbelievably low. I am not mentioning names just the unit and the hospital. I really feel the department functions like a bunch of medical camera operators who have no wider knowledge or the will to discover the underlying problem. I waited one year and I am no better. In fact if this progresses further I will have to live on a drip! But they do not care!
