Re: Gastroentrologist Dr Thomson

[Guest guest]

Hi carol

I found dr Thomson very helpful with regards to assisting me in getting a nhs

referral after doing a private appt.and assisting us in what protocol to do

with the gut, as my son still has hypotonia we still have some gut issues if i

slip and dont do petroleum jelly,he also suggested that movicol was too intense

to give on a daily basis to just give mag. citrate which i get from

mandimart.... i think if you dont talk about biomed as a whole but just focus

on the gut he is willing to listen but any mention of what i call the word

general biomed and he will freeze... after andrews scape goat issue with the gmc

, drs like dr thomson need to be careful as they also would not like to lose

their jobs. But a nice list of symptpoms and sugested gut biomed he seems not

opposed to. I liked him and would reccommend him to any parent with similar

issues...Isobel hth
