Hi Melissa
Warm welcome to the forum.
good to hear from you. It appears you feel uncomfortable with how your digestive system is working and the symptoms keep repeating. Understandably you are worried and anxious. having GP investigate your concerns may alleviate your anxiety but also it will likely provide you with anserwers if this is correctable and what might cause it.
Digestive irregularities maybe symptomatic of many changes in a diet, gut flora and health conditions. They may point to some food sensitivities and allergies also. These, no doubt would be investigated by your GP. Documenting your diet, any stresses and symptoms maybe helpful for your GP. The same for recalling when you last felt everything was ok and what was your diet then.
Complementary to seeing GP, Chinese medicine practitioners (accredited and registered) maybe helpful. Their main focus is to maintain good health (in contrast to western medicine that deals with diseases). They may ask you similar questions about your lifestyle and diet, check your tongue, eyes and chi (like checking the pulse) but are unlikely to engage in more scientific tests for allergens, pathology, etc.
All the best. Let us know how you going.
