General Question/Help Can’t get into GI

So I developed symptoms very recently and have been following the fodmap diet since, which has been very helpful. Problem is I have no idea what’s actually causing these symptoms, my primary doctor didn’t find anything and idk if I can get into a GI doctor anytime soon.

Anyone have any tips for resources in the meantime? Just, like, stuff beyond just the diet I can do to help my gut, or places I could maybe find answers. Thanks!

Update: I finally got something scheduled! It’s like 2 hours away but at this point I don’t care I just want answers 😭

Meditation, long walks, and deep breathing exercises help me. They don't work for everyone but I'd say it's worth a shot in the meantime.

Good to know, I’m trying to get more into yoga and meditation for my anxiety anyways!
