Duck, so sorry. I don't know that any of our healthcare systems are bad or it's just more people having the kind of problems we have. I'm in the US and it takes months to see my GI or to schedule surgeries also. This my sound stupid, but maybe investing in a good blender of some sort might be a good idea at this point. I've been obstructed, the pain is very ugly. I sending good thoughts your way. I wish I had some good advise to give you. Please keep use informed on what going on with you.
Aimee
