Second opinion

Haven't had to take this route, but the bottom line is, if you're not happy with the care you're getting, and losing confidence in your GI, then it's time for a change, or "second opinion". Many before you have taken this route. Hope it works out for you.

It looks like you are really seeking to switch doctors, instead of seeking a second opinion. I live in a small town and I went to see a Crohn's expert for a second opinion. My local GI was supportive of that, but the expert ended out kind of snotty to him so it wasn't a perfect situation.
I suggest that you ask for a copy of your medical records from your current doc and also get a copy of your relevant hospitalizations and tests. I actually typed up a one page summary of my care and treatments so the doctor didn't have to wade through mounds of records, and the doctor appreciated that. You don't have to tell your current doc you are switching until you find someone you like and decide that is the direction that you want to go. If you are in the US, you might want to get ideas for a referral from the Crohn's and colitis foundation. University Hospitals tend to have more experts than local hospitals, but if you are going to switch, make sure you see someone who specializes with IBD, not just a regular GI. Good luck with everything!

Thank you all so much for your advice! I will be sure to update how it goes. Thanks again
