I'm sorry you have to go through that, Tina! I agree with everyone here, you need to find another GI, that one was full of BS. The only thing GIs have ever prescribed me are ADs and antispasmodics (I can't take ADs, at least Elavil and Prozac, because for both, one pill will literally make me have such migraines and dizziness, I'm bedridden). And any doc can prescribe birth control. If you can't find a doc in time for the BC pills, try Planned Parenthood. They'll make you got through an annual exam before prescribing them, but you can usually get in there relatively quickly.
*sending you and Tommy hugs and happy thoughts!*
