Hi Connie,
Dr. Kruschinski will answer your questions if you e mail him.
Many doctors ignore or do not think adhesions are causing
you problems, so don't be surprised by his unbelief! I know
you are aware of Melissa's history. I took her to countless
doctors, especially gastro's and ob/gyn's.......not a one of them
ever mentioned adhesions. When I would ask about endometriosis,
I was told that was not her problem either. I had to figure it all out
on my own. I finally ignored what the doctors were saying and just began
researching. After all, she was still sick and we were just running around
the same tree day in and day out, year end, year out....(upper/lower gi's,
colonoscopies, etc). ....that was all that was ever offered.......oh yeah,
they always offered an antidepressant too!!!
Melissa was told over and over her pain was IBS...(this became the
diagnosis after 6 or 7 different gastro's argued over Crohn's).
I decided IBS stands for "I be sick"..........and it should be IBSATDDKW....
..
for "I be sick and the doctors don't know why" ........well, guess
what.....since the adhesions are now gone.....Melissa no longer has
IBS nor IBSATDDKW!!!! Dr. Kruschinski knew why she was sick!
Adhesions!!
I am so sorry you are in pain and desperate for answers. I can only
give you our experience......
Best wishes to you,
Karen

Subject: Can Dr.'s admit to ARD?
I went to visit my gastointestinal doctor to discuss my lastest GI series.
His explaination was the xray showed adhesions, but the pain in my bowels--
were IBS. Why does't he believe adhesions are causing this pain and
irregular bowels. He never mentioned ARD. I also have an ulcer that cannot
be treated with medication only surgery. So he said he was sorry and when it
gets worse call my surgeron.
Does any one know if Dr. K in Germany can cut out uclers from the
intestines?
Someone Please reply.
