Well, I had my zoom appointment today with an alternative physician, and I have to say that he made sense. Instead of offering me antacids, which my PCP did, he said that I need something to help digest my food since I no longer have a gallbladder. That is exactly what I have always thought. He wants me to try some digestive enzymes plus ox bile and something else to soothe my digestive tract and I don’t remember exactly what’s in it, but he’s going to send me a list of ingredients. That sounds good to me! I’m hoping and praying that they work and that I’m not allergic to anything in them. He also told me I should go ahead and get a colonoscopy/endoscopy just in case and that I may have a hiatal hernia. I think he’s right. So I will do that. He was a nice person, and he seemed very intelligent. He told me that he thought I was very sharp mentally for someone who is 70 years old, but I never thought of 70 as being that old! Is it really? Am I there yet? 😊
Thank you so much! OK, I will report back.
