Integrative Doctor Needed

Dear golfer,

Here are 2 websites that might help you locate someone near you. http://www.acam.org and http://www.functionalmedicine.org.

I actually put your zipcode into the first site, and when I expanded my parameters to 100 mile radius, I found a number of doctors. Dr. Wycoff in East Lansing seems to specialize in both gastroenterology as well as allergy testing.

Another excellent idea would be to call Phyllis at EnteroLab – 972-686-6869. They do excellent GI testing and I attended their conference a couple of weekends ago. Phyllis has a national list of doctors who use their testing protocols, which would seem to suggest that those docs understand the gut. She’ll be happy to help you.

I agree that it’s time to see a good Integrative Doctor.

And probiotics are a MUST when you’ve taken/are taking antibiotics. The antibiotics wipe out your good bacteria along with the bad. I would do a week of Ultimate Flora Super Critical 200 billion, and then maintain with a daily Critical Care 50 billion. It could be that you've developed a fungal/yeast infection in the sinuses, given your pattern of improvement while on antibiotics and worsening when off. Probiotics will help to balance the fungus throughout the body. And you want to STAY AWAY FROM SUGAR!

I looked back and noticed our other conversations. I’m hoping your diarrhea is much improved. Did you continue with the S. Boulardii? That could be helpful now too, especially when your immune function seems to be overwhelmed.

I hope this helps.
