Hi Crystal,

  I would make lists to take with me to the appointment.  For example, lists of symptoms, foods that bother you, other GI triggers.  If you have medicine questions, write those down.  I would ask for a medicine protocol to help alleviate all my symptoms.  I'd take a written out list of my medicine regimen (what, how much, and when I take them).  If I didn't have a formal diagnosis, I would ask for that.  Take your local physician's card or contact information so Dr. G. can send a report and results of any testing.  I would ask him if there's a way to communicate with him after you're home in case medicines need tweaking or you aren't getting relief.

  That's all I can think of right now.

There is a post in the Start Here category of the forum which lists suggested questions to ask at your consultation with a specialist.
