Planning and Looking for Ideas

Hey!!

So I'm starting to think about planning my first ever solo trip. I'm kinda hoping to keep a budget within $4000. Europe is fascinating to me but was wondering where others have gone on solo trips? Where did you enjoy and feel safe? Where did you not enjoy/not feel safe? Thanks in advance!

Looking for some advice

Hey everyone!

Hoping this post is allowed I apologize if not.

Im hoping to find some suggestions or advice for some GI issues I've been dealing with for 2+ years. I dont have a diagnosis (yet) but the PCP i had thought my symptoms were similar to IBS. However, I'm on the search for a new PCP as the one I had left shortly after I started going to her. Most days I feel nauseous. Somedays I feel like I end up "attached to the toilet" (Sorry if it's tmi). Low FODMAP was recommended but stressed me out. I also struggle to advocate for myself, especially when im in a new place or even in a doctor's office.

So the advice I'm seeking is, what helped you (or someone you know) advocate for themselves easier? What should I mention/not mention when I find a new PCP? If I should ask questions, what should I ask? Or what helped or didn't when going to a pcp (not asking for a detailed medical history or trying to be nosy to anyone).

Also if anyone else has IBS/IBD/GI issues what has helped alleviate some of those symptoms? And if anyone did the short term FODMAP diet thing, was there anyway or anything that helped or made it easier?

Thanks in advance!
