Mindy,
Sounds like a nice way to practice medicine.? To treat the whole person, good medicine.? I really have what I'd call a "good" doctor now.? I have always liked my doctor, but it really depends on what's going on at the time in your life.? If they take the time to ask a few questions or not, the answers may really help to make a different diagnosis.? They are generally in a hurry from what people tell me, but mine will give me as much time as I need, hence, I don't mind waiting a bit, as I know he's doing the same for another ahead of me.

I don't understand why doctors don't prescribe probiotics along with their antibiotics....or at least tell their patients to take them....you can buy them over the counter........?

I've used dried fruits, prunes, apricots, etc. as well as food that has a lot of fiber like beans, depending on what the situation is over the past year and have finally been able to regulate myself.? After 9 years of bowel problems, this has been so much help to me. ? I haven't had as much trouble with constipation as I have had with loose stools.? Frankly, for me, constipation has been much easier to deal with, but that's my body.? Now that I've said that, I hope things don't go back to having problems again.? There were many times, sometimes for months, that I was afraid to leave my home.? I suffered from C-diff, where the bad bugs?had overtaken my gut and there were hardly any good bugs left.? It has taken me a long time to balance that out again.? That's what antibiotics can do to you if you take a few.?? ?
