"He gave me an actual list of foods to eat, something that I wish I had gotten from my other doctors. He provided me with this on the very first visit."
"I am a 33 year old woman with a history of IBS and GERD. I was once at a fairly healthy weight for my age and size (127 lbs). I ended up loosing a drastic amount of weight (approximately 35 lbs) due to my illness. It took countless doctors and numerous tests (2-3 colonoscopies and 2 endoscopies, just to name a few), and many different medications for IBS. My doctor told me to take two Prilosecs a day along with antacids for acid reflux. He also told me to take stool softeners and some fiber. All this did not work! I asked my doctor if he could tell me what I could eat so that my stomach wouldn't be upset. He told me that I was lactose intolerant and that I couldn't eat any dairy products, fats, oils, roughage or fruits. To add to this he told me not to bother eating out because my stomach wasn't made for restaurants. So what could I eat? No one would help!" "I remembered a good friend of mine ranting and raving about Dr. Picard. She just loved him. So I decided to go and she was right! Immediately I knew that he really wants to help you. He is so knowledgeable in what he does. After taking my history, he ran a few tests to get an overall look at what was going on in my body. He treats your body as a whole, which truly makes a difference. I started eating the way he recommended and took a few supplements, and this made a world of difference. He gave me an actual list of foods to eat, something that I wish I had gotten from my other doctors. He provided me with this on the very first visit. These foods are easy on my digestive system. I was so happy. I finally found someone who was listening to me and truly looking out for my best interest. It's amazing how quickly I began to feel better. It's amazing what Dr. Picard knows. I feel very lucky to have found him." Melissa ~ Bristol RI
