Seeing Dr. Lewey on Tuesday!

[Deanna in CO]

Hi all,

I'm one of the fortunate few on this board who live in Colorado, and I have an appointment with Dr. Scot Lewey (www.thefooddoc.com) on Tuesday. I know the following: I have a diagnosis of LC, made the end of January; I have had gradually worsening D for about 10 years; I have been GF (and off pretty much all sugar, preservatives, etc.) since Thanksgiving, DF since Christmas, and DF and SF for a couple of months; I am some better but still having LOTS of bad days of WD.

I've requested my entire medical record (10 years' worth) from Kaiser and will go through it Monday to figure out what I might need to take.

Any thoughts on what I should take/questions I should ask/tests or procedures I should request when seeing a dr who actually believes much of what we talk about here? For those who are familiar with Dr. Lewey's website, you may have seen that he is familiar with blood testing for food sensitivities (and knows which labs are best and which insurance companies will cover it!); he recommends a GF/DF diet and believes our IBD actually is related to what we eat (!); he is familiar with mastocytic enterocolitis and how to treat it; and more.

I am excited for this trip and hope I will have news from it that will help not just me, but maybe others here as well, since many of you have been a huge help to me.

Deanna,

I have a hunch that he will turn out to be pretty informative, and he'll probably anticipate most of the questions that you might have.

Good luck with the appointment,
Tex
