Favorite GI gastroenterologist Mayo or anywhere?

My doctor ordered tests for bacterial overgrowth, fungus, yeast, parasites and mold. If you need the specific name of the tests, I can let you know.
I stopped taking the prescribed PPI right after the result of the endoscopy as the GI doctor told me to never take it again due to hypertrophic cells in my intestinal tract. At that point I realized traditional medicine had nothing to offer me and that is when I started looking at functional medicine. During my search, on my own I decided to go gluten free, dairy free and sugar free to experiment and see if that would help and it did.

I am in about the same stage as you. Don't believe std. docs really understand the microbiome system; hoping to find one to at least give them a chance. Looking for a gastro doc in Rochester. . . not sure who would be best for SIBO-- small intestine bacterial overgrowth. Am on the low FODMAP diet for now, low motility, occasional diarrhea. Have not tried rigorous probiotics yet but on my agenda.
Tried a naturopath doc and he diagnosed the SIBO(fecal & Breath testing) but he wanted me to take over 900 pills in the next 30 days to solve the problem. Sounded like a recipe for disaster(reactions!) so I walked away. Presently working with a dietician. . .
Good Luck to YOU.
