My Doctor Hadn't Even Heard Of Leaky Gut!

Why do I feel like my reality just gets invalidated over and over again. I wish these doctors would expand their thinking/knowledge base into the 21st century. It's so hard to work with. So I play the docile patient and go to the rheumatologist for no good reason in case I need some support from the system in case I get really sick. I know that they can't do anything for me except to stress my stressed system with more drugs.

I feel like I just screamed into a vacuum and no-one can hear me. Am I just imagining all of this or is it really happening.

That's frustrating.  I am often glad that I have my own brain.   I always like to get to the root of the problem, but discovered years back that most doctors don't.  I hope you can really work away at the roots of your problems, but mostly that you GET BETTER.

Thank you Diana. That's what I'm trying to do.

Your doctor hasn't heard of leaky gut? That's bologna! It may be he/she doesn't believe it has been proven within certain guidelines but you can't be in medicine today and not have heard of it. To a certain extent the gut is designed to leak, it's one way nutrients get from inside the gut to the rest of the body. Inflammation of the gut allows larger particles and unhealthy other stuff to cross between cells in the same way as fluids, bacteria and toxins. Malabsorption is a wide group of diseases that must be understood before getting any medical degree.

What you have is a passive aggressive doctor telling you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain pulling the levers and strings. Listen to the Great and Powerful, the All Knowing RheumOztologist blowing smoke up whatever you might have handy.

Sorry to be blunt but I call BS on that.
