Substantial healing (was: Re: Re: Stomach Gurgle)

[Guest guest]

I gave my GI info about LDN, and she told me she would ask around at a GI

conference she was going to. Later, she told me she couldn't find a single

doctor there who admitted to prescribing it. She also talked to her sources at

the Mayo clinic, and while they thought it was intriguing, wanted to wait for

more studies.

Not many GI's in my area take my insurance, and I've already gone through 2 bad

ones. I'm very happy to have found a GI as good as the one I got (she's actually

supportive of my doing SCD), and it took 7 months to get into see her. That's

why I'm not anxious to go looking for another, especially when chances are

they'll be worse, not better.

I haven't decided whether or not to get LDN on my own. I may wait until after my

next appointment to decide.
