Food intolerances?: You might want to consider whether you have any food intolerances contributing to your GI symptoms -- many people do, and don't realize it. An integrative medicine or functional medicine doctor could help you with this. http://www.abihm.org/ and http://www.Functionalmedicine.Org/ for possible referral sources.
