lol you're funny... but each professional has their speciality. And medical doctors are trained to diagnose and treat with pharmaceutical options. Some GIs are exploring dietary, probiotic approaches with patients but nutrition therapy is only at its debut. I combine different approaches, I have met with naturopaths, nutrionnists, acupunctors, read several books, etc, but without the medical doctor and pharma options, I'd be really sick right now. nothing stops you to explore and combine other avenues on your own with other specialists, but keep in mind that the longer we wait without appropriate management, the more we increase our risks of complications.
