Paul Kim8 said:I need a recommendation for a gastroenterologist—private or through Medicare, doesn't matter—but someone who isn't 200 years old and thinks ulcers and heartburn are the only things that exist... I need someone truly skilled and up-to-speed with modern issues, like gluten sensitivity, IBS, FODMAP, etc. Someone who will actually run targeted tests based on specific symptoms rather than just guessing and hoping they hit something by chance.

Chicago or somewhere nearby.

To avoid starting a whole new thread, this covers my question perfectly.
Basically, we’re looking for a gastroenterologist in Chicago who understands a wide range of digestive conditions—not someone who just writes off everything as functional dyspepsia and then tries to drown the patient in antidepressants to mask the symptoms instead of actually finding the cause.

I’d prefer a private specialist, because in Chicago, you’re looking at a three or four-month wait just to get an appointment.

Thanks and cheers.
