Follow-up Appointment

[AmandaD]

Hi everybody - I have my 6-month check up with my gastroenterologist coming up in a few weeks. I was just wondering if any of you have had one and what did the doctor do? Do I have to have more bloodwork? I've already done the bone scan and a check of my vitamin levels...I'm currently having no more problems unless you count the one time I drank Rice Dream!!!

Should I be asking my doctor to do anything particular?

Your advice/experiences with follow-up would be appreciated, as always!

My 6 month follow up consisted of the dr. asking how I was doing on the diet, how was the D, and that was about it. I tried asking him about the reflux I was having, he felt around a little, told me to take Phazyme. He was also uninterested in talking to me about additional food intolerances. He told me to come back in a year. I can hardly wait. Hope your appt. is more informative

To tell the truth, I can't be of any real help here! I'm not sure why I'm writting! But I wanted to say that I was supposed to go back to see my doc, about a month ago, but after his complete disinterest during testing I decided that I was doing a better job changing my diet and doing my own research! Maybe its not the best decision, BUT...... it seems to be working for me! I am slightly torn by my decision, in that I would like to know exactly what he thinks is wrong with me, but I would hate to put myself through that at the same time!

So, like I said, maybe I'm not really helpful here, but this is my story!!!!

P.S. Let us know how it goes, maybe if you have a good report I will rethink my stand!
