Gastroenterologist won't take me seriously.

Venting

My regular gastrownterologist wasn't able to see me for months so I had to see someone else. She finally went over my HIDA scan and ordered an MRI with two types of contrast. She tells me everything is fine with my gailbladder. The EF of my hida scan was 97%, I asked her about this and she said it was normal. She said sometimes they remove healthy Gailbladder and symptoms may still return and sometimes they remove a diseased one that they didn't catch. I asked her what if I wanted it remove because it hurts all the time and it's made my life hell and she said insurance probably won't cover it because nothing is showing up.

I feel really lost and depressed. I'm so miserable with this constant gastrointestinal upset, the burning, the chills, the sweats, I either have diaherria or I stay constipated. I'm in pain all the time, I'm extremely gassy to the point I'm embarrassed. I explained all this two her and she just seemed... Indifferent like she didn't know what I was saying because eventing came back normal.
