Thank you so much for that info. I am so sick lately I don’t know what to do and I just feel like going to a traditional doctor is just gonna make things worse, as you confirmed. I’m about 90% sure I have SIBO and I know that a traditional doctor won’t know how to treat that. They’ve let me down time and again. And yet I’ve never really gotten much help from a naturopath or a functional medicine doctor either and they’re so expensive and of course insurance doesn’t pay for them. But at least they don’t do stuff that makes you worse. I’m so sorry that you’re having to go through that. There’s nothing worse than not being able to eat and being in pain all the time. I’m already down to 82 pounds and I think I’ll die if I lose anymore, so I’m really scared. Have you ever tried any functional medicine doctors or alternative doctors? I have had one referral from a woman I know on a zoom group, but he’s quite a drive from me, but I could maybe make it. I was gonna go ahead and schedule my colonoscopy since I’m having such trouble, and then I woke up this afternoon having grave doubts and then saw your message. I had a colonoscopy about 13 years ago and it was OK, but I know there are lots of risks involved. Again, thank you for the information and sharing your experience. I hope you can find an answer somehow. Good luck to you, too!
