Hugs Corafree,
Don't stress about not answering. I think we all post if/when we can. I also find a lot of support here.
> My OB-GYN is also a top doc here that I hooked up w/ 15 years ago and is a male. I'm not sure he'll be too concerned about the butt doc's treatment of me. Maybe a bit.
*****I suspect that professionally doctors simply do NOT say much about each others' performance - or bad performance at least.***
> Nope, butt doc not worth my time. Agree.
>
> Potatoes okay. Ok. Kath .. I've printed out alternative info. My daughter thinks I should try scrap together enough pennies to see a holistic/herbdoc(?) and I do also.******Sometimes a Chinese herbal doctor is less expensive than a holistic doc. Larry Hoover found what I think he said was a good on - but in Toronto! If you are fortunate enough to have a Naturopathic School or Homeopathic School near by, they usually need "patients" for their 3rd or 4th year students. That's who I go to now. Had a homeopathic 'constitutional' done there - amazing results. They charge me $22.50/hour visit. I get it a bit cheaper 'cuz I'm a 'senior' apparently!!!!!!!! :-(((( 59 I guess is considered senior! Oh well. Anyway, it's something to look into. I have no idea where you live. Those type of schools are usually near or in a major city I think. I have to travel about 45 minutes to mine but it's worth it.********
> Find a new medical doc; yes I will ultimately.
>
> My current PCP just shook his head like 'don't be silly .. you're not worth all the time and money it takes to diagnose celiac' when I mentioned my GYN wrote it on my referral to the butt doc. Obviously the butt (colo-rectal) doc paid no attn to it either.***** It might be less invasive (it would be) & just as informative to cut gluten out for 7 days or so, then add a bit back in (1 food with it in) & see what happens. You might also do 'muscle testing'. If you're interested in that, you could ask about it on the Alternative Board. "Over55" knows about it, I believe. I am going away for a week tomorrow, so won't be able to help you on it right now. ********
> I have the book, Prescription for Natural Healing, though .. 'still unpacked' here.*******It's an excellent book. I like that it has all different suggestions under most ailments. The problem with vitamins/minerals/herbs is that they can add up $$$. *******
> Guess my first move is to answer 'is it in my best interests'.
*********that can be pretty hard to figure out sometimes.******
Sorry I don't have any comments about the other things in your post.I'm feeling REALLY tired; was feeling sick earlier so am just doing a quick skim through here.
I send you my hugs Cora, luv, Kath
