I had a health review recently, and I couldn't help myself, when told "to eat a healthy diet", asking "what's that then?" to see what the GP would say. He knew it was a trap and skirted round it lol!

😂 Yes, I've experienced that before. Last time I was at the gastroenterologist I asked him why they hadn't tested/assessed my gall bladder. He wouldn't answer me. Subject changes and misdirection comes as standard with that arrogant douchebag. Lol, I'm not his biggest fan, and I don't think he is mine to be fair. I've now requested a referral to a different hospital but it is put off until covid has calmed down.

one of the surprising things to me about not eating refined grains, even before I lost any weight, was how my shape changed. In a matter of days my waist measurement started decreasing,

This is a common story. Grains and gluten all cause low level inflammation of the cells according to what I've read. Yet another thing that my GI specialist tells me isn't true, then shows me an MRI saying 'look you have no inflammation' and I'm like 'ok explain why I blow up like a balloon, but the hydrogen breath test says their are no abnormal level of gases anymore.'

It is a whole massive pain in the ass to even deal with them anymore as they never have any productive answers, and from what I've researched now, the antibiotics and antispasmodics I was given three years ago might have made things worse.

I'm gonna try a new alternative protocol in around 2 months after I've had my second covid vaccination jab. One thing at a time and all that 😂
