nurse practitioner or real medical doctor? do nuse practitioners know just as much? im trying to figure out if i should go see a gastro doctor for my stomach problems. i'm 21 and have been to a nurse practitioner for the following reasons:
cramping, gas, bleching, acid indigestion. stools are occasionally soft or small. she tested my blood, she tested for stds, she tested for blood in my stools and any kind of infection in my stools and found nothing wrong, everything normal. i occasionally get abdominal pain, swelling, or maybe just bloating. i get fuller faster than i normally would yet still hungry at times since i am eating stuff without milk (such as sandiwches hot dogds and soup) trying to stay away from milk to see if im lactose intolerance. the other idea the nurse practitioner thinks it could be is irritable bowel syndrome. anyone ever experiences this or heard of it? should i go see a gastro doctor? or real medical doctor? ive spent so much money on doctor visit as it is
