Looking for an Alternative Doctor in Portland Oregon

Post by Pat N »

Hi Friends,
I'm back because of flareups that started with eating some bad mussels a few months ago. I was diagnosed with LC in April of 2014, so more than 4 years ago and had settled in with one or two usually loose poops per day after a lengthy period of working diligently with my diet. Now I am easily flared to the most watery of watery and take Pepto to calm the disturbance for a day or two. I'm looking for a good alternative medicine doctor or even allopathic doctor in the Portland Oregon area, since it feels like I need additional support. I have a very broad spectrum of food sensitivities according to an Enterolab test 3 years ago. In other words, there wasn't anything on the list that I wasn't sensitive to. My willingness does wear thin for me especially in social situations. I just can't get away with much at all these days. I suspect leaky gut issues..... Thanks, Pat N

Hi Pat

Sorry to hear of the flair. Unfortunately, the only naturopath we have listed for Portland is:

Dr. Steven Sandburg-Lewis

Address: 2220 SW 1st Ave, Portland, OR 97201

Phone: (503) 894-9118

Here's a link to a recent podcast by him:

He's been a naturopath for at least 30 or 40 years, and he seems to be focused on SIBO these days. I don't know how well he does with MC, but someone here recommended him years ago.

I am from Portland and Dr Sandburg Lewis was who I saw in 2014 and he helped me a lot. He is on Macadam I believe. I work in Tigard and now see Dr. Renee Schwartz who is in Tigard and she is excellent. Hope this helps and good luck to you.
