For me the only way I see improvement is if I take my own health into my own hands based on my own informed research and data and trust doctors less that are just trying to get you in and out and overbill. It sucks, but, there are certain things you can spend your whole life trying to get help for and fail anyway due to the realities of the US healthcare system (where I am).

Not sure you can blame the US system. What you describe here sounds familiar in the European healthcare system too. To me, it seems that bowel issues are a complicated matter, with high variance in their manifestations. And as long as the symptoms are considered 'mild' (even with a significant decrease in quality of life), specialists don't seem to have an answer, and you'll end up in the 'deal with it' space.
