Ok so the ped doesnt know why Lily is gaining weight so rapidly.She says every time she sees her she looks differently.She says her facial traits are changing...They are??????She still looks just as chubby and cute as she has to me.But yeah so the doc says she thinks she needs to go to endocrinology then says before she will send refferal she will first write a letter explaing why she is sending Lily to them.then she says first she wants to do long range biofeedback???????????????/


She says you ask 20 questions and the machine can identify the problem?????????????


WTH?????


She says it isnt spooky or cooky and it can show your aura and what not and she is into alternative medicine yet she is family practice...........military family practice.


I am going to call her and tell her we want endocrinology and a second opionion put in on gastro as last gastro had "normal" on barium test and yet we continue to battle constipation, diarrhea and no eating


So Mamas you tell me

I would start with an elimination diet. I'd start by eliminating all dairy and wheat for amonth. along with any artificial colors/flavors and only use honey/raw sugar (not the procesed white sugar). and see the endocrinologist.- but I'd not do the biofeedback, unless those things didn't help.

Jul. 24, 2008 at 9:12 AM I had a customer from New Mexico in my wellness business that did biofeedback. She swore that she had a gift from God and most usually found the problem..helped many people. Then she did the ionic foot thing(its some kind of detox)...and then nurtured many patients with our stuff because its safe.:) Thats all I know about it..I think alternative medicine is the way to go only because I feel regular medicine is very harsh and does more damage to the body.

I am at a point that as long as it is not invasive I will try it. I do believe in alternative med &/or natural healing. The Native Americans,chinese and so forth have been doing it for years and it hasn't caused them more problems so what is the harm!?! KWIM???


As for the constipation thing you would do better with an emptying scan. It will show how slow/fast/normal the stomach is emptying and moving into the intestines. Could be that things are not moving like they should! Good Luck hom I hope you get somewhere with a new GI!!
