Lol really. You don't want a quack... maybe pick some one with actual medical degrees then. Not some nut job still into coloidal silver.

How have you ruled out Celiac disease? Did you get an endoscopy procedure done? Because that is the only way to rule it out. Took my wife forever to get the referral and it confirmed celiac's.

Have you tried Pro biotics? Often does the trick for me. Stomach problems and digestive issues are definitely hard to diagnose. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I'd recommend Lisa Keen who is now at the [Calgary West Osteopathic Wellness Centre](https://www.calgarywowcentre.com/). I found her extremely helpful in addressing my health challenges from a holistic perspective and her solutions were designed to integrate well with the other support I was getting from health professionals.

Highly recommend Dr. Alyssa Gaul at Resonance Wellness. She helped me get rid of a bad egg intolerance as well as chronic sinus infections. What I love about her is that she isn't quick to put you on a restrictive diet. Her belief is that if something is making you sick (I.e. eggs) then she needs to get to the source of it; simply removing them from your diet is "lazy medicine" (her words). I love her.

http://www.integrativehealthcentre.com/ My mom (Struggles with severe CFS, MCS, etc.) and I (Severe sinus and digestive issues) have been getting supplements and stuff from them for years. Very helpful, give them a look. The folks who work their are fantastic.
yeah those issues you listed require a doctor, Naturopaths cant order tests or do referrals so you should look at a different doctor if your current one isnt helping you

I have seen naturopaths. They like to load you up with multiple expensive useless supplements. They will also wrongly diagnose you which could end with disastrous results. Find a doc you can work with - they are out there. Also, there are nutritionists who specialize in working with diseases. They are immensely helpful.

A real doctor is your best bet. Naturopaths are not real doctors. I could call myself one if I wanted. Would you trust your life in my hands? Edit-[This] (http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/episodes/2011-episodes/cure-or-con) episode of Marketplace is an interesting watch.

If you do end up going that route, be aware that there are a lot of "food sensitivity tests" out there that are a total scam. Some people will claim that they're helpful, but it's basically a combination of placebo effect plus a radical diet change. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/igg-food-intolerance-tests-what-does-the-science-say/

I’d recommend Dr. Patricia Brand in Britannia. She has a science degree before get her ND, so she is well versed in science and allopathic medicine. She firmly believes in mainstream medicine, but sees natural supplementation as a bridge to help people stay healthy. She’s exactly what you’re looking for. She is difficult to get in with because she is so popular, but she’s well worth the wait. Definitely the best in the city. Edit: I do know the other 2 NDs recommended in this thread. Neither is as good or experienced as Patricia.

My (and Abbey 's ) Kinesiologist? Her name is Dawn Dolan, she's in Cotati. She's done WONDERS for me. http://rejuvandwellbeing.com/
Abbey C. replied:
Dawn is AMAZING! Worth the drive. She has seriously changed my life. The problem with many naturopaths and healers is that they don't test your body on supplements or foods. They just prescribe things according to your symptoms. This is not good for se nsitive people with allergies. When I started I was so bad I was even allergic to probiotics. Here's my story about Dawn, and my GI struggles. Don't worry, I only say diarrhea once: http://adventuresinwoowooland.com/how-i-healed-my-gut/

imho: Chinese Medicine = Dr.Erlene Chiang. 3 rd generation practitioner and former president of American Cancer Society. Been in practice 25+ years and runs a martial arts/qi gong school as well. Naturopath = Dr.Andrea Zengion is a compassionate genius! (also does Chinese medicine and currently training as a midwife.) Neither are conservative and both are very dedicated to meeting the goals of their patients.
