Your doctor's attitude is the same as pretty much all doctors. They always treat each symptom as if they are isolated incidents, rather than the underlying cause. This means you will always be on medication just to treat the symptoms. Naturopathic doctors look at your health holistically, and work at helping your body heal itself, naturally. My guess is that not all naturopathic doctors are the same, just like any doctor, so you should keep looking until you find the right one. Preferably, a naturopathic doctor that specializes in IBS. I am optimistic about my new naturopathic doctor - we had great chemistry. I am still waiting for her treatment plan, but I get the sense that she is looking for the interconnectedness of my symptoms, which is a totally different approach than I have ever experienced with a doctor before.
