Hi! I am seeing a gastrointestinal doctor next week and am wondering what to expect? I am going in regards to chronic constipation. I have been to MULTIPLE other doctors but they have finally referred me to a gastro doctor.
What should I expect? Any advice?

Not to scare you, but they will probably do a rectal exam. It's unpleasant but pretty quick. I have IBS and had to go to the GI doc a lot in the past. Pretty much every time, they did a rectal exam.0

This may be too personal, but how do they perform this exam? Should I expect x-rays, etc. I am so nervous! I hope they are nice
Haha!
Do they come up with a diagnosis just through examining?0 -
Sent you a more detailed PM.0
