Beth, There's absolutely sensible reason not to trust him. There's no reason on earth for him to deceive you. No, his advice does not concern me, and it's not just because he is a fellow Confederate reenactor. It's for the following reasons, 1) I'm feeling a whole lot better. So much so, I'm tempted to post on the semi-stable list. 2) He thinks, as some other reseach GI docs think, noteably John Gershon of Columbia Univ.in NY, that there many varietes of IBS, and for the type I have SFS has not done me any good. For some reason, which I admittedly do not understand at this point, it was plugging me up. That lead me to pounding too much water, dancing around to generate the BM's and ultimately lying on a bathroom floor with a stroke. Back in May, he said that my anxiety was one of my main problems, and not to worry as much. When I told him my rehab doc decided to up my Paxil dose, he said, good idea. He even remarked that I seemed much more relaxed now than back in May.
Also, yesterday I found out that my GI doc here quit and went elsewhere and they wouldn't tell me where. Thus, as of now, I'm going to ask Dr.J to be my regular GI doc. The travel won't be a problem because once I can drive, I can fly standby on American Airlines from Marqette,Mich to Chicago(often directly) essentially for free, because my Dad used to work for the airline. -Bob
