"So my appointment with the gastric doctor is in two weeks , honestly feeling so nervous and anxious about it . What’s very frustrating is that it’s on the phone so have no idea how they are going to diagnose me 👍🏻But hopefully will go okay and will get some answers and pointed in the right direction. Xxx"

  1. Hopefully the phone conversation is just to get background information and set you up for an in-person appointment. Like you stated, at least the phone call should get you "pointed in the right direction." Wishing you the best. Air hugs!--Traci, UC-IBD Team Member

  2. I second what Traci says. Hopefully it is to understand your background and symptoms and from there you can go in for proper testing. Here is an article that goes over diagnostic testing: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/diagnostic-tests-and-procedures Let us know if you have any questions. Hugs, Elizabeth (team member)
