Annual PCP Visit

Post by humbird753 »

I had my annual visit with my PCP today. I went there with notes, questions, and Tex's book. I was surprised she understood food sensitivities to the extreme extent that she did. She also pointed out how each of us is different; therefore, what works for one won't necessarily work for another person (which is something all of us here already know). I go to Mayo Health Care System for my healthcare. I gave her a copy of my Enterolab results as well as I want it on my record that I am definitely sensitive to gluten and dairy.

Tex - she is very interested in reading your book. She found the cover picture on the book very intriguing, and wondered what it meant. I thought you had mentioned it at one time, but I couldn't remember what it was.

All in all, my appointment went very well. I didn't have any complaints of any physical nature, so I spent my time talking to her about Enterolab testing, mast cell issues, thyroid issues (found out my tests in 2011 were TSH only). She also mentioned I am due for another colonoscopy in 2015. She is well aware that the clean-out procedure can cause a lot of havoc especially for those of us with an IBD. Well, I have a year to think about whether I'll have the colonoscopy. By then, I may go through with it just to see how much improvement there really is. :shrug:

That's good news, Paula! It looks like you found a doctor who cares and wants to understand this disease. :)

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
