Who did you see at Mayo..so far the gastoenterogists I have seen refuse to test me for SIBO.." I already know you have ulcerative colitis that went untreated for 10 months, I do not want to go looking for anything else. No one will listen to me, just want to throw steroids and IV biologics at me. I have not been able to get a full colonoscopy to see whats going on , I have been waiting now 10 months. I had a flex sigmoid in May and CT scans that showed I have ulcerative colitis. I spent four days in the hospital and a lot of work because of this , anyone know a GI doctor who cares enough to listen to me and believe me. I just want to get better so I can have somewhat of a life again. I live in Minnesota and am in the Minneapolis are. Anyone have a good kind doctor that is willing to listen to me? Thanks Kitty2

You might want to see a functional medicine doctor. I have been seeing Dr. Kyle Pankonin, a chiropractor who practices functional medicine. He is in Lamberton, MN. It would be quite a ways for you to drive, but give him a call, he might be able to refer you to someone closer to you. His phone number is507 752 7650. Found issues that weren't tested with regular doctor. Thyroid issues for one. Gut issues resolved as well. It takes time and focus to get to the root cause of what you have going on. We are not a one size fits all. Don't let any doctor put you in a box with everyone else. You are you.
