Re:
Apple Cider Vinegar & Stomach Pain
That's why she should go see a gastrointestinal doctor. Just because you are to stupid to look up gi docs in your area that have good reviews online then tell your gp to send a referral to that one istead of just going to whatever a hole your gp sends you do does not mean I my advice is not good.
Look you little ignoramus, the idea of this forum is to eliminate going to the doctor if you can do anything that keeps you from taking the poisons that are given by your bosses, and prescribed by doctors.
In my post I told her that she may have overdone the AVC, and to suggest something other than what she was doing was difficult because the cause was not known, and if she wanted to see a doc, she could. Not knowing if she had health insurance which might be a factor.
Cost of Upper Endoscopy
The cost of upper endoscopy (without insurance) may range from $800 to $1,800 and depends on country, hospital, procedures performed during investigation and the cost of sedatives and anesthetics. http://tinyurl.com/j5d7m8b
I have kaiser HMO, and was referred by my primary doc to see a gastrointestinal doctor who immediately tried to give me "Prilosec" without even examining me, or giving me any tests. When I ask him why he doesn't try and find out what was causing my problem instead of trying to treat the symptom, he got very irritaed [Like I gave a rats a$$], but finally referred me to a doc who did give me the endoscopy. She couldn't see anything wrong, but that didn't stop her from prescribing "Prednisone" so she could get her payment/perks from the pharmaceutical company.
