Hey everyone! Today I went to a new doc--just primary, not GI--and it went great! I told him about my IBS (which I had all my test results sent over ahead of time) and he asked what I was doing for it. I told him fiber supplements, and then I said, "And I'm following the Eating for IBS Diet by Heather Van Vorous." And he actually heard of it! AND, he actually said he had patients that had good results with it! Isn't that so cool! Not that I don't consider all of you real, but it was just nice to hear a real live person say it out loud! LOL
And, even more good news. He checked my results from my echo last fall, and he didn't think I needed to take antibiotics for dental work. He actually got up right then and called over to the cardiologist and double checked. (I had never met with the cardiologist. My previous primary just had me take the echo and have the results sent back to him, where he gave me the diagnosis and told me I had to take antibiotics for dental). So two weeks ago when I went to the dentist, and I was all worried about taking the antibiotic and having an attack--it was all for NOTHING!! Oh well--at least I made it through that experience with the extra added stress--it was proof (at least to me) that I'm getting better. Might as well get SOMETHING good from the improper diagnosis. 
I really like this new doc. I'm so glad I switched. Added bonus: none of the office/nurse-type people in there were rude. A great new doc & nice people--I must be dreaming! LOL
Oh well. Thanks for "listening". Just had to get that out!
