Re: Clueless Doctor       12/02/04 05:16 AM Edit Reply Quote lobstress Reged: 11/29/04 Posts: 66 To tell the truth (not to make people paranoid about this), I have never had much faith in doctors. When I started having IBS, I had the upper and lower GI barium tests. The doctors never even suggested that it COULD be IBS. The way I found out about IBS was through my mom. When I went to a gastroenterologist, he was quite unprofessional about it. He actually asked me (in this phrasing): "How many times a day do you take a d**p?" I really thought that he should have been more professional about that. Then, after I had the coloscopy, he said something like, "Yeah, it looks like IBS." HOW can it LOOK like IBS?! Doesn't IBS look like NOTHING because it's when they can't find anything else wrong with you? So, he didn't really offer much advice (nothing about food or anything) but he did want to prescribe a wide range of meds. Grrr. I really don't like doctors! I think the basis of the Atkin's diet is pretty ridiculous. It's not healthy in the long term it's just a quick fix to lose weight. Sorry about my ranting. I do that sometimes.
