  • Is there a cure for IBS?

    Hi, first, you need to be sure that this is IBS and not something else so you need to see a gastroenterologist. IF this is IBS, management: 1. Avoid corn, popcorn, nuts, raisins, seeds, lettuce (the green family) 2. It is usually worse w/ stress-anxiety and an anxiolytic medication may be very helpful. 3. Many patients have a lactose intolerance so a good probiotic that works, should be very helpful. READ MORE

  • Loss of appetite and nausea

    Hi, this is not usual. Most likely you developed a 'stricture' at the site of surgery. Suggest: Go back to the surgeon or a gastroenterologist and have a B/E and SBFT (small bowel follow through) done. READ MORE

  • Incomplete bowel

    You should see a gastroenterologist as there might have been damage to the internal or external sphincter. I would also suggest that you be checked for impaction (flat plate of the abdomen). READ MORE

  • Anal fissure

    See a gastroenterologist x a calcium channel blocker such as procardia, with a stool softener. I would also have a barium enema done to be sure this is not a 'fistula'. READ MORE

  • Crohn's disease and Lupus

    Hi, Both Crohn's disease and Lupus are autoimmune diseases and yes, they can present together in a patient. May I suggest you review 'Rick Simpson Oil' as a modality of help. Thank you. READ MORE

  • Are probiotics helpful in treating GERD?

    Dear Sir, Probiotics are not very useful for GERD. However, if you are hesitant about using the known medications, we know that Cannabis oil that you would make is very helpful and it has no side effects or medical interactions. Best, Bruce Langner, MD READ MORE
