Hi everyone,
This is my first time to post, but I've been coming to this site for almost every day for about a year. I can't say enough good things about all of you. You are all so wonderful, helpful, kind, caring, etc. It's nice to know I am not alone. Ya'll have really been a lifesaver. I primarily have IBS-D. I take Heather's Acacia, drink her peppermint tea, and try to eat only safe foods. I have cut out meat. I am trying to be a vegetarian, but it's hard for me to give up chicken and seafood. The worst thing I hate about IBS is the inconsistency. Sometimes I can eat whatever I want and then other times it seems like the littlest things will trigger it. It's so frustrating. I hardly ever eat out anymore. It's frustrating for my husband. For the most part he's understanding but I know he misses going to a good steak restaurant.
We are planning on moving to Florence SC as soon as we find a house. My husband and I are wanting to start a family, but I don't have a doctor yet. I don't know a soul in the area to ask for recommendations. I would like to find a vegetarian, ibs-friendly doctor. I have had horrible luck with Western doctors, at least with gastros. I spent the last year in Korea and I had a wonderful Oriental medicine doctor. I did acupuncture 2 or 3 times a week. It only cost me 4 dollars a visit! Yep, only 4 dollars. I would like to continue acupuncture here, but it's just too expensive.
Ok, this is getting too long. I just wanted to introduce myself and ask anyone if they have any suggestions on finding a good obstetrician. I looked online, but I didn't have much luck. I also wanted to post to give you all a long overdue thank you, so thank ya'll from the bottom of my heart. This board has helped me so much!
