My
advice: Do everything exactly as Dr.
Faber tells you.
I owe my quality of life, if not
my very life, to his recommendations.
I developed atypical irritable bowel
syndrome after what was to be a simple
tubal ligation. .
I was an absolutely healthy 45 year old
female until a tubal ligation in
December 2004. I never felt well
afterward, and in weeks abdominal pain
and explosive abdominal pressure. I was
assured there was nothing wrong with me
Later after I started to run fevers, I
began an ordeal that lasted over 2
years. I saw a total of 29 doctors, 2 CT
scans, 2 MRI, 2 nuclear tagged white
blood cell scans, abdominal, rectal and
vaginal ultrasound, 2 colonoscopies, 2
upper GI series and exploratory surgery.
I was checked for cancer, ectopic
pregnancy, inflammatory bowel syndrome,
Crone’s disease and more. I was told I
needed to have my ovary and tubes
removed as they were likely infected. I
was told I needed to have a rectal
surgery to remove a possibly infected
cyst even though it had been identified
as benign. I was told I was hysterical
and looking for attention and just
needed to "get on with my life" and
perhaps counseling might help me.
I was seen by surgeons, GYN, GI and
infectious disease specialists,
department heads of the Medical College
of Georgia, as well as the GYN,
infectious disease and GI departments of
Mayo Clinic.
I spent thousands of dollars, missed
months of work, took 22 medications. I
changed my habits, reduced my stress,
saw a nutritional specialist, spent
hundreds of dollars on nutritional
supplements and had more blood and lab
tests than I could have believed
possible.
It was only after lab work by Genova, tests
not covered by my insurance as bacterial
overgrowth
caused by slowing of the gut after
anesthesia is not considered to be a
possible cause of disease, was I
referred to Dr Faber.
Then it was only after Dr. Faber did a
very complete history and quizzed me
thoroughly on the Rome criteria, that my
IBS was identified. With his direction,
my medical doctor has implemented
his instruction and as I write this, I
am 12 weeks symptom free after 2 1/2
nightmare years.
Medication for the IBS, nutritional
and probiotic supplementation have
changed my world.
There are not enough words for my
gratitude for his help, his kind and
gracious manner, and his
dedication to his profession.
My story is real. If you have any doubts
or questions about the necessity of
following his
directions explicitly, you may contact
me at IBS@kwebb.com. He has earned my
absolute confidence, and he will earn
yours.
Sincerely,
