@InceptionState @Humpleupagus @matrix @Silverwolf @AidanTTIerian @cereal the problem is when the specialists don't know what they're doing. I have been to two different ENTs because my ears have had an eternal itch for 10 years and neither of them knew what was happening. Neither of them asked about potential diet changes. One gave me GERD medicine (even though I don't have acid reflux) and the other gave me allergy medicine that did nothing.
I went to a church recommended (licensed) therapist once and even though I had been diagnosed with a mood disorder previously she said nothing was wrong with me and I just needed to pray to god :MonkaChrist:
Then you have to factor in younger people. Young adults and teens don't really have that same kind of firmness and experience with doctors. If the doc says something is wrong then they must be right.
