My appointment with my new GI is approaching (got rid of my last guy, all he wanted to do was whip out his Rx pad..).

What would you run by a new GI? (he is lead researcher on clinical trials here)

? Thoughts on "natural remedies" like Bosewellia etc.
? Thoughts on Probiotics?
? Thoughts on LDN?
? Thoughts on Fecal Transplants
? Thoughts on Worm Therapy?

Would like a good list to run by him to feel him out.

1. how quick he returns phones calls re symptoms

2. How often arel follow up visits are necessary (I will see my GI every 3-4 months)

3. How often you need blood work done

4. what supplements should you take

5. If a refill is needed or having a flare can I get a prescription thought the pharmacy

Make sure you write them down and take them with you because you might forget all your questions. Or at least that’s what happens to me.

I think most GI's will want to give you an Rx.

I hope that helped.
