Thank you for your reply and suggestion, I’ve never heard of delayed gastric emptying. I will definitely look into it and see if I think it matches my symptoms enough that I should request having the test done. I completely agree with you that a diagnosis of IBS is something that drs recommend (at least mine did) as an across the board diagnosis that is given without considering other issues that might be the base cause of problems. So far my Naturopath seems to be guiding me more effectively than my g.i. dr did. One thing that’s really beneficial is that I see him twice a week for digestive focused acupuncture and so he is always totally current on what’s going on with me and can tweak supplement recommendations based on how my system is functioning. I’m glad to hear about your success once you finally received the proper diagnosis!
