Okay, I have a feeling this thread will spiral out of control pretty quickly, but it's a great topic and when we get a long list of names I'll try to post the info as a separate page on this site.
Please do NOT start a new post on this topic, just reply to this post only. List the doctor's first and last name, and their city/state/country. If you have their office phone number include that.
I'll start the ball rolling by recommending:
Dr. Lucy Harris, Cornell University GI Department, New York, NY (she is moving to Arizona, the Mayo Clinic, sometime in 2004)
Dr. Jane Geders, Mt. Kisco Medical Group,
South Bedford Road, Mt. Kisco, New York, Telephone, 914-242-1370.
Dr. Alice Friedman, Austin Diagnostic Clinic, Austin, TX
Dr. Noel B. Hershfield, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, (403) 240-4084
Dr. Tomas Hinojosa, Jr., Digestive Health Associates, Reno, NV (775) 829 7600
Dr. Shaibal Mazumdar, Menomonee Falls, WI (262) 251 7500
Dr. Robert Sudduth, Bremerton, WA, (360) 782 3735
Add the docs you love to the list!

They are not doctors ( although Joe is studying to get his medical degree) but I have found the most help from Joe and Len at www.askrph3.com or 1-888-askrph3..they are registered pharmacists and nutritionists who focus on your diet and supplementation. And, they are WONDERFULLY compassionate! I recommend them to anyone...they are based out of the Pittsburgh Area if anyone is nearby and wants to meet them in person.

Dr Hope Honig, DO
Philadelphia, PA USA
She is a family practitioner, and until I had to move recently, she was my doctor. Not only is Hope a GREAT doctor (better than her husband who she shares an office with), but she has IBS herself!

My GI Doctor is in Heather's list: Dr. Robert Sudduth, Bremerton, WA, (360) 782 3735.
I just wanted it to be know that is a great doctor who was finally able to figure out what was causing all the pain and gas. Also he is the only doctor that I have had that didn't try to push medication on me and let me control it with my diet and stress management. Dr. Suddeth and his nurse have made it clear to me many times to call anytime I have any problems. It's nice to know that there are still a few doctors out there who really do want to help!
Oh and Heather, he was pleased to have a piece of your mint fudge cake.  It was the least I could do for him giving me my life back.

I can't believe you took him a piece of cake. That just cracks me up. He does seem like a really nice guy - I've mostly dealt with his nurses and they are wonderful.
