Hi Maryh,
At least I NEEDED a bit of LEVITY... Really happy you found a great doc!~ lucky you. I have heard of a couple here, but tried them & no appts. till Jan.!!! Gal that highly recommeded esp. the 1st one, had worked for him. Said that both these had been involved in research in IBS. One problem tho, they BOTH want recommendation fr. my Internist to see a GI and she already knows I'm seeing the one. Knowing her,,,,since she did zilch, she won't let me see another!!!!!
I got to talk to him for a sec Wed after my huubby's colonoscopy and he wrote pres for Librax and then......it's a long story, but I mentioned the promenthazine (Phenegran for nausea) that works (& INternist won't prescribe this or even Librax)and he said he'd rather have me on that, so he tore up the Librax pres & said to HAVE INTERNIST call him. OH.....he'd had me on levbid at nite, but REALLY made me sick.. So, I called my Internist re calling him for pres. immediately and checked back TODAY and zilch so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That GI diagnosed me w/GERDS in 99 w/endoscopy and have been on Prevacid ever since. Am thinking it could be the overgrowth of bact. or worsened by it, cause the promenthazine is for nausea .......not spasm.
I worte the board abt. this w/ a special ask for ans. (meaning opinions ) fr. Heather & Shawneric, but haven't heard a word from anyone, darn. Think you are a nurse and mentioned the Clostridium Difficule test for that???
There's also another reply to 1 of Shaneric's posts that I'd like u to read if u have a chance. Think it's near the bottom of the ones re bacterial overgrowth messages I posted.
Also, we are supposed to leave for FL at end of mo., but prob. not till 1st wk in Nov. Sure don't feel up to GOING now..... AND wouldn't you know I saw a BIG ad in paper tonite for a free clinical research study for women w/IBS D. Maaybe it is getting more respect as they say, BUT what timing for me!!! Gonna call on it anyway.
