i totally agree! there are some great docs out there, and i'm glad more of them are referring to holistic and natural type therapies.
i figure things like acupuncture haven't been around for hundreds of years 'cause they DON'T work...right?!
unfortunately, though, since many doctors still don't know much about IBS and/or think it's "all in your head," they subsequently don't know about the various treatment options available... and that totally sucks.
