Stress

My gi doctor is horrible. I am having pain in my stomach right now from my ulcerative colitis
It's a 11 on the scale

  1. When I called my gi office. All they said was what do.you want . They hung up

    1. Oh my goodness, , I am sorry to hear that you're in so much pain and your GI clinic dismissed you! While I'm not a doctor, I do know we have a lot of community members who have ended up in the ER when the situation (and pain) presented itself. Please don't hesitate to seek the medical you need! Also, I'm not sure whether or not this would be feasible for you but, in the long run, you might want to consider if this GI doctor/clinic is the best fit for you. We do have this article written about deciding to switch doctors, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/switching-doctors-decision. As well as this one with some tips on switching doctors, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/new-gastroenterologist. You deserve to be listened to, support, and relief from the pain! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
