My GI doc is an idiot, need advice       03/20/07 05:31 PM Edit Reply Quote lauren2121 Reged: 02/18/07 Posts: 10 I went to my GI doctor this afternoon complaining about extreme gas, bloating, irregular bm's (three times on day, then nothing for 3 to 4 days, and on and on). I explained to him that I have been following Heather's guidelines and the gas has not improved. He gave me some reading material on "gassy" foods. I said I know all of this, eating this way is not helping, could it be celiac's? He said no, they tested for that Sept 2005. I asked for an allergy test, he said no need that i just need to alter my diet (which i JUST told him was not working). He told me to eat citracel and gave me a prescription for bentyl. I am VERY frustrated and depressed. I had to leave work early the past two days because my gas was SO explosive I thought I was going to accidentally have some sort of public trauma ocur if i didn't leave, not to mention that my belly was pouring over my pants because i was so bloated. I have been following heather's guidelines for two months now, I suck down peppermint and fennel tea like its my only source of water (i told the doctor about the peppermint tea and he asked me "what does that do?"). I am at the end of my rope, I have lost all patience. Nothing I eat is safe. Everything I eat gives me gas. Any advice? Maybe a probiotic in case my bacteria is all out of wack??? Any advice is much appreciated. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
