I think that my digestive system got tight and has problems from the SIBO I had last year that was diagnosed by the mayo clinic. The Mayo Clinic says the SIBO is gone, but has most likely left me with these other problems that I am seeking treatment from the Mayo Clinic right now. Hope these new treatments work for me and hope this information might help you.

I wish that I could be of more direct assistance to you but the entirety of what you continue to experience is beyond the level of my expertise.
Had a spinal fusion @ Mayo Clinic back in 1982 and as of the past 5-6 years have had an issue with numbness, nerve pain down my right leg and into my foot (L4-L5) impingement. It no longer flairs up, since the Gabapentin Rx. I'm on 300mg/3 x/day and it's been a game changer. Best of luck to you. Mayo Clinic figured it out, was @ Cleveland Clinic and UPMC prior, but Mayo Clinic was worth the trip for sure.
Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org
They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.
I pray that mayo can help identify why I am sick so often and why I have stomach pain but to be honest I don't expect much since no one else could help me. I woke this morning feeling pretty good and don't know why. made a trip to the bathroom and now I feel sick again or was it the eggs I ate for breakfast trying to digest. I don't know. Thank you Clysta and I hope you have better days in front of you.
They put me on aciphex and did a gastoscopy , finding just an irritated stomach lining . Ever since then I have had nothing but tons of epigastric pain and into my back . They switched me to protonix 40mg twice a day but I have minimal relief . Also had my gallbladder removed about 4 yrs ago . Any ideas ? Please Help !!!
I decided that I should travel to the United States and hopefully get a diagnosis. I know that Mayo clinic and Cleveland clinic have a good dysautonomia clinics but I don't know which one should I choose so I would appreciate any suggestions !!! Also I know healthcare in the US is so expensive and since I don't have insurance I wonder how much such a visit to one of those hospitals will roughly cost ?I know it's hard to tell but I'm asking for a roughly cost.
Thanks.
I'm sorry to hear that your brother is having so many problems. I can relate to shoulder problems as I had a shoulder replacement done a little over a year ago. I personally did very well right after the surgery, but have been having increasing problems with pain and limited range of motion in the past couple of months so will be returning to the surgeon who did the surgery to see what he has to say.
I have dumping syndrome without ever having surgery. I had the motility test done at Mayo Clinic, Rochester to confirm. I've seen lots of Doctors and they basically say I'll never know the cause. I follow an anti-dumping diet but am still very sick all the time. If you come across any good information please let me know. If you have any questions let me know as well.
My daughter Just got thru 4years really horrendous vomiting condition. Was diagnosed with cyclical vomiting syndrome, and by the Mayo clinic as Rumination Syndrome. Bad pain under left breast ( often swelling too) would signal an attack comin. No nausea- just burps with hitchikers - continuing for hours or sometimes weeks.
A new Dr decided to do a HIDA scan- and they figured out her gallbladder was diseased, and had to come out. 2 weeks now wit not ONE episode.
The treatment plan was MRI and colonoscopy. I leave Arizona mail clinic in extreme pain with my liver and stomach swollen. I have been diagnosed with metabolism. My stool and P is turning yellow. My liver has stressed my body to the point I am starting to have A fib and heart problems. I don't expect to live another year. Mayo hepatology department in Phoenix Arizona has my blood on their hands! John Noseworthy in Minnesota could care less about my health care!
Maybe I was too harsh about Mayo. To be fair to Mayo Clinic, I do think they do have some very good doctors there, maybe it's just hard to get a neuro diagnosis - as it seems to be most other places in this country - so what's new?
I did really think the Mayo radiologist who looked at my films was excellent - he found a couple of things the original outside radiologist did not notice such as brain mass loss.
