Has anyone seen a Naturopathic doctor?

Hi there,

I have an appointment with a Naturopathic doctor this week.  I am very interested in learning the cause of this GERD, as opposed to just throwing drugs at the problem.  Has anyone gone this route?

OK, will do.  I guess the only thing I have to lose is a bunch of $$$, since their services are not covered by insurance.

I've gone that route and came back with mixed results. In my case it's not just GERD, but also delayed gastric emptying and gallbladder dyskinesia. During my time with that doc the GERD was fairly well controlled, and gastric emptying seemed to improve, but the gallbladder is doing worse. Because of this, I can't say how effective this will all be.

That said, I don't believe you have anything to lose by going this route. I will likely take it up again, after my gallbladder removal, should my GERD symptoms persist.

Hi Bailey...no I have not, but I am very interested in what they may be able to do to help.

Please keep us posted with the techniques and how u feel with them.
