hi mike
I'm sorry your wife has received such poor care under those that you trusted to help her back to wellness. I'm glad she has you as an advocate because sometimes it gets so weary going at it alone.
I agree with you. I have learned more about IBS, treatment, diet, alternative treatment and medications here on this board (and in Heather's books) than I have ever learned from my docs or HMO. My doc is a well meaning person but I wish he would agree that he knows very little about my pain/symptoms and refer me to someone who does (I just found out today that my request for a referral to a gastroenterologist was approved, praise god!).
I am following Heather's diet, drinking the fennel and peppermint tea, taking the acacia and peppermint caps and also a probiotic (mainly because I've been on two doses of antibiotics recently). I also take Imodium as needed. This all seems to help. I do need the doc, though, to reconfirm that my change of symptoms is still IBS and not some other disorder/disease.
I wish you and your wife all the best. She is truly blessed to have you in her life, guiding her back to health and recovery.
Janet
