Follow-up on IDIOT doc, saw a new one, good things       03/23/07 08:53 AM Edit Reply Quote lauren2121 Reged: 02/18/07 Posts: 10 LUCKILY the new GI doc I went to actually listened to me, and didnt shove more pamphlets into my hands on how to eat for IBS and gas (like I don't know how to eat for IBS, pah-lease). He told me to stop taking the anti-spasmodics cause I hadnt really noticed a difference (besides some D which was unexpected). And basically he thinks I have an overabundance of BAD bacteria in my lower digestive tract and not enough good bateria (think all those yogurt commercials). So he put me on CIPRO for 10 days to rid me of the bad bacteria, and gave me some probiotics to supply me with good bateria (i cant eat yogurt cause im Lact. intolerant, but that was his first suggestion.) He also said that if this doesnt get better within a few days, to eat 2 CHEWABLE extra strength gas-x's after every meal. He did not push for a colonoscopy like the first idiot doctor(im convinced that guy just wanted the money for performing a procedure like that), and he tested for everything under the sun, celiac's, thyroid, helicobactor, etc etc. He said the food allergy test could come if this doesnt work. It was great! And I feel noticeable better, even though its only been 24 hours (I've always been a sucker for the placebo effect-I'd be horrible in a study). So I'm a happy camper, I hope the good feelings continue! Anyone else go through this course of treatment and do well with it? Or not??
