Dear Jenny,
I agree with Kerrie about having tests to rule out anything "yucky". Regarding the cost, I noticed your address - how close are you to Lexington? On the map, it looks like about a 2-hour drive? Reason I ask, UK has a couple of clinics that might provide lower-cost testing and/ or treatment: one for IBD (like colitis, Crohn's, etc) and one for Women's GI Issues. This is just FYI - hope I'm not being too forward. Whether or not you are interested in actually going to UK med ctr, you might get some info from them. I've found, in dealing with critical health issues for my family over the past 20 years, that academic docs (and their clinical nurses, in particular) tend to be very empathetic, and generous with their information. You might be able to contact the Gastro division at UK and just ask to talk with a nurse (some academic med ctrs have intake nurses). S/he might be able to give you some helpful advice (and they don't "pressure" you to become a patient). Again, just FYI, their phone number is 859-323-5575. You can go to their web page at www.mc.uky.edu/gastroenterology/archive/index.htm. (You'll probably have to type it into the URL line - I don't think you can just click on it from here - it will just take you to the UK Med Ctr home page). Really, really, really hope I'm not being pushy or offering info you don't want. BTW, I checked out your home page and it's awesome! I loved your testimony (I have one, too!) and have bookmarked it! Keep your faith, pray about this and "let the peace of God rule in your heart."
Blessings,
Kaybee C
