Thank you! She visited a neurologist, cardiologist and endocrinologist but only checked for sugar and thyroid, not other hormones even I asked for cortisol and that kind of tests he said is not needed.Neurologist said that her tests showed no epilepsy so is vasovagal syncope. What I missed to check with an immunologist.
Would you recommend to get an appointment with a specific doctor in Mayo Clinic? Not sure how that works.We are willing to drive and get her re-evaluated.

Hi @gidalsy,

If you’d like to make an appointment with Mayo Clinic, please call one of the appointment offices – you can also request an appointment online. The contact information for all 3 Mayo Clinic locations (Minnesota, Arizona, Florida) can be found here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
The Clinic’s representatives/schedulers will ask questions to help direct you to the best specialist, either at Mayo or closer to home.

In the meantime, I’d sincerely encourage you to view these Connect conversations about leaky gut:
