Re: do I really need a dr.?       02/08/03 01:28 AM Edit Reply Quote emmab Reged: 01/25/03 Posts: 43 Hi Gayle, I was properly diagnosed about 6 months ago now, my gp diagnosed me 5 years ago (but had no advice at all). Last year I had every blood test under the sun and finally got to see a gastroenterologist...who just said "irritable bowel syndrome, eat less fiber", that was it. He didn't think a colonoscopy or endoscopy were neccessary at all. Everything I have done to deal with my symptoms I have done through trial and error and heather's books. So I guess what I'm saying is, I think it is entirely personal and depends on the doctor you can get. The guy I saw didn't really care, and didn't think I needed to see him anymore...with his advice I agreed. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a gastro. who specialises in IBS (are there any??). Best of luck, I hope you can get someone good. Emma Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
