I'm in shock! I recently had my medical records sent to the Univ. of North Carolina Medical Center to see if they would consider seeing me at their IBS research center. They told me they'd review my records and IF they decided to see me, that it would probably be with one of the center's assistants. Well, I got an appointment card in the mail today and they've scheduled me to see THE Dr. Drossman himself. He is the head of the center and one of the leading IBS doctors in the world!!! (His specialities are gastro and psychiatry.)
I can't believe it!

Actually, it's a 3-hour drive from my house, but I'm willing to go that far to see him. The doctor here hasn't helped me at all. In fact, his only suggestion to me was to take Milk of Magnesium every day--for the rest of my life. Pleeeezzze!!!!!!

What a lame thing for a Dr. to say... Good Luck with this new Dr. My Dr. Mcmurchy has been good but he has never helped me with diet. Like Heather's books have. How did you get in at Chapel Hill?

I think I got an appointment because I called and begged! I think the woman felt sorry for me because I was so frustrated and almost in tears. She told me to have my doctor here write a letter and send my records and then they would review the records and determine if they would see me.
My situation is unique because I have bipolar disorder and IBS. My gastro doc and my psychiatrist here have been bouncing me back and forth. It will be interesting to see what this doctor recommends since he has specialities in both of these areas.
