Is this normal for doctors??

I've been reading some other threads (i.e. Nate) where posters have said that they are having D ten times per day or more, for weeks at a time, and their doctors tell them to just wait it out ... is this normal?? I can't imagine doing that for weeks! I think if a doctor ever said that to me, I might say something very rude in return! Do many doctors do that, really?

Doctors can be incredibly blockheaded sometimes. I'm lucky in that I've found my D/C problems to be a little easier to control over the years with diet - but I have bad nausea constantly that just won't go away, and it's bothered me since I was a kid. And yep, I've had an awful lot of doctors tell me that it'll go away on its own... those are usually the same doctors who nag at me for being malnourished, and tell me to eat more. (Like, duh? I'd maybe eat if I didn't feel sick all the time? Grr.)

Kinda makes you wonder where they got their medical licenses/degrees, eh?
