I love my GI. Wonderfully helpful and very enthusiastic about his work. He did not skip any test or undermine my condition as being "common" like most PCP's. He stresses good diet instead of pumping me full of meds and always calls me back the same day when I have a question.

Hi there, I live in Oakland but lived in Berkely when I first moved up here almost 10 years ago. I went to a GI about 8 years ago. I did not see her extensively - IBS was already suspected before I was referred to her. She did my sigmoidoscopy and had me go in for a barium enema. I did really like her bedside manner. Hopefully you'll get some other recommendations as well. Good luck!

I'm looking for a doctor in the Philly area (live in suburbs) who I can trust to take care of my 30+ years of IBS. It has been added by something else and I now can't even sleep at night due to restless legs (and arms) and especially painful cramping and spasms as soon as I lie down; I might as well work the night shift. The only thing that really lets me sleep is a powerful pain pill and I don't want that to continue. I've been dealing with it for 4 months and would really like to find out what's going on in there. Did you ever hear of SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)?
Are you still doing well and what kind of medications did the psychiatrist give you? I know I need something to calm me down, but the MD is so damn scared to give me anything. I do alot better with valium at night to help calm things down and be able to sleep.
Thanks for your help.

Please note that this thread is pretty old so the docs in it might have moved or quit practicing.
My GI doc is:
Robert W. Schuman, MD
101 Old Short Hills Road
West Orange, New Jersey 07052
973-731-4600
He's not the slightest bit touchy-feely but is an excellent technical doctor. He supports the idea of Soluble Fiber for IBS but doesn't think much of eliminating red meat and alcohol. (I have to say he strikes me as a scotch and steak kind of guy). Here's what I've said about him previously:
Quote:
Dr. Schuman knows his stuff, but he's not going to give you his undivided attention for very long. I suspect he's be a good guy to see for tests and diagnosis - that seems to be his thing. I do well with him because I know I have IBS, treat it with Heather's diet, and go to him with specific questions about tests and meds. My only caution about him is that he has no qualms about prescribing meds that haven't been on the market long. Having been on Propulsid before it got yanked, I'm pretty cautious about new meds.
Today I would modify that to say he's a really good guy. When I went back to him in misery last Fall, he could not have been nicer.
When I was checking to see if I'd already recommended him in this thread, I found this reference to a guy in New York: old post
