doctor for stomach related problems - #20978

Kimaya

I am really struggling with these stomach issues and not sure what to do anymore. For the past month, I’ve been having serious bloating and sometimes a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I thought at first it was something I'd eaten, but even after changing my diet to whole foods and avoiding dairy, nothing seems to help. I even went to see a doctor for stomach related problems who told me it could be IBS but wanted me to do some tests, which I have done – still waiting on results. Some days I just feel like I can't eat anything without feeling like I'm going to explode! I mean, can anyone suggest what to expect when seeing a doctor for stomach related problems? It got me wondering if there’s a specific type of doctor for stomach related problems or if any general practitioner should be able to help. Like, how do you know when to see a specialist versus just dealing with a family doc? I just wish I had some clarity on it all because this has been really affecting my daily life with work and everything; it’s hard to stay focused when you feel like your gut is in knots. Any advice or experiences would be super helpful!
