My daughter has pretty much the same thing. She had her GB out when she was 14. She is now 27 and has had many issues with diarrhea, the whole nine yards. About a year ago her doctor did a blood panel on her and found her lacking some major vitamin defishencies(sp!!). All of that found her in a raging hormonal he!!. Her thyroid was also underactive. He put her on certain vitamins and she is feeling much better. Hope this will be what you find out too......sara
dav yep this system over here *****!!!!!!!!!
it may be free but its useless !
trouble is now i cant get private medical insurance for a pre existing condition even if i could afford it , if i knew all about the nhs problems before i was one of the unlucky ones i would have always had medical insurance !
laurel i like that phrase lol
i know that this doctor will still be a long wait (NHS LOL) but he is the top dog in a top london teaching hospital and he has been doing the research and knows what hes talking about so im very very happy to have even found out about the research let alone for him to tell me i would be happy to see you !!!
miracles do happen!!!
Hey, jenny, congratsss
how is this phrase that people who attend NA always say ? something like " never give up five minutes before the miracle" ?
good luck with this doctor ( and i do hope that you'll be refered to him soon !!! ) :)
Wow Jen, now that you mention it, I do know what your talking about. I remember from the raging debates over here and the comparisons they were making to your system , the Canadians ,etc..That is a miracle..Guess it was meant to be! :)
yes definately !!
i dont know how the health sytem over in america works i know its private etc ..
but over here in the uk a gastro appointment is a 6 month wait!!! on the nhs and you do not get to choose who you see , you get what your given and you have no choice but to wait for them to contact you !! no cancellations or emergencys.
so for me to have found the article, then googled the doctor, him be in the uk ,find his email address, and get a reply saying come and see me on the nhs is just UNBELIEVEABLE !!!!!!!!!!
jen
Neat! You found a renewed sense of strength..Thats great! :)
