Yeah, that made me sigh/chuckle.
I had this gastrointestinal issue and was prescribed a big pharma drug, which the gastroenterologist made sure to tell me that I'd be on for the rest of my life.
Looking at the possible side effects of the pill, it was strange that the symptoms I had were exactly the same as the possible side effects.
So, no rocket scientist that I'll claim to be, but how will I know if I'm having a relapse or if I'm reacting to the drug? Screw that.
Met with a naturopathic physician, got off the pills, got on some natural remedies, and all is well.
