My GI says the reason I'm doing well is because of my diet :-)

[Guest guest]

I saw my GI this morning, and had a very interesting conversation with her.

First, I told her I was doing well, and she asked what I attributed that to. I

said that I was very strict with my diet, and reminded her of what I ate on SCD.

After we ran through all the symptoms I was not having, she said she also

thought the reason I was doing well was because of diet. Can you believe that?

She also wants me to send her more info on SCD.

We then talked about how bad sugar is for you, and she said that she and her

husband had taken their twins off formula due to all the sugar. She said the

kids threw a hairy fit, but now eat mainly organic vegetables and home made

almond milk. She said that when the kids visit the grandparents (who give them

too much fruit and cookies), the kids come home and have a runny nose for a

week. She also said she just lent her vitamix to a friend to help their

constipated child get off sugar and onto healthy foods. We also talked about how

healthy soup is for a person. A GI who believes in good food, how about that!

She also was interested that I'm doing better since starting Betaine HCl. She

said that GI's are taught to give acid blockers, not to give more acid. She said

she wishes she could help me with the dosing, but knows nothing about it and

suggested I see a naturopathic doctor sometime.

The only downer was that my liver enzymes are high again :-(. I may end up

having to get a biopsy. Yuck! And my colonoscopy got scheduled for this month.

Yuck again! I'm curious to see how my bowel healed from surgery though.

Maybe soon I'll admit to taking LDN on the sly ;-).
