so, poor healthcare workforce quality is not just an "issue of an economically poor country", as I thought!?

like, I tried to treat the bloating in one municipal clinic in Ternopil, Ukraine (got "just use Espumisan or anything else that has symeticone" and when it did not work out permanently, "we don't know what to do, just keep eating symeticone") and then with Gemini 3 (Pro or Flash depending on Google AI Studio rate limits and mood), which immediately suspected a poor diet and suggested logging it, alongside activity level, every day.

Gemini's suggestions were nothing extreme - just cut sugar and ban bread and pastry. I was guilty of loving bread, croissants, and cinnabons (is this how they are translated?) too much.

the result is no more bloating on the third week, -10cm in waistline in 33 days, gradually improving sleep quality, and even ability to sleep on a belly, which was extremely uncomfortable to me due to that goddamned bloating!
