"Previous misdiagnosis"

I have been attending the Gastroenterology Clinic, on this occasion I saw a different Consultant who I had not seen before. I was apprehensive as I had been dealing with my consultant for several years and they know my condition and symptoms well. This Consultant during the entire consultation proceed to tell me i did not have a Pancreas problem and that my previous diagnosis was basically wrong and the medication I was taking was only having a placebo effect.

They did not listen to me and did not ask how I was at that point in time, preferring to go back to the other consultants' opinions. I told them I was hardly eating yet they told me I was doing well. After the consultation a GP at my medical practice was sent a letter going back several years in my medical history, which was not relevant. It was suggested that I was obsessed with there being a problem with my pancreas and that I had gone private to get an opinion as I was convinced it was my pancreas - even though I had told them it was the other consultant who wanted me to be referred, but my GP had refused and I was so unwell I went private.

They also said I should identify all foods that caused a problem and cut them out which is all food so this was basically telling me not to eat. It quite clearly stated this on my notes about the food.

After seeing this consultant and being told nothing was going to be done, I went private again and I was given a diagnosis of Bile Acid Malabsorption and the medication for this has gotten rid of my nausea and pain. It is ridiculous that I was misdiagnosed previously and being left in that condition.
