Sounds very similar to what people have to go through for other chronic disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The "it's in your head" bit has to be the most aggravating thing to hear, I know what it feels like.

Add to this the rampant prescription of antibiotics and antidepressants, just to push the actual problem under the rug. It's very infuriating.

Anecdotally, my Irritable Bowel Syndrome which I had lived with in a debilitating condition for about 10 years completely disappeared (5 years now) after I had my appendix removed. Since then I regard IBS as basically a label doctors throw at something they can't diagnose or don't understand.
