> 100% of the time a doctor can help you in some way

Nothing that starts with the claim "100%" is ever true, you can be 100% certain of that.

Seriously though, you speak as if your digestive system has never betrayed you, and therefore you're unfamiliar with these matters.

Trust me: there are some things your doctor cannot help you with, at least, not to the point you can walk in a city without public restrooms. Some things are not even medical conditions -- and IBS is "idiopathic" in many cases, meaning doctors don't have a clue -- and some conditions that you would consider anomalous actually fall within the normal human spectrum.

You'll feel the urge to contradict me: don't. You probably don't know about this, but both me and the other commenter you're arguing with do. Realize that your experience is not everybody else's.
