[quote=Anonymous]I saw Dr. Megan Murphy, a Johns Hopkins community Physician GI doc at Sibley. She did the endoscopy and colonoscopy as well as the SIBO test and everything was covered by insurance.. I thought she was very good.  However, when the endoscopy showed major inflammation but the SIBO breath test came back borderline, she would only do one round of Rifaximin despite my severe symptoms and my being seriously immune compromised. I think she would be excellent for a more straightforward case, but wasn’t able to help me further.  I then went to an integrative medicine physician that I trusted.  She follows the Cedars Sinai protocol and did the IBS Smart blood test to confirm the SIBO diagnosis. She prescribed additional rounds of medication until I was stable and helped me find a few foods I could tolerate during the healing process.  Doesn’t sound like you want to an integrative physician again though. She is private pay, but I got 80% reimbursement due to the insurance I had then. All of my GI symptoms are resolved for which I am so grateful.  In case you are interested, her name is Dr. Poorvi Shah, DO and her office is in Falls Church. She is not a GI specialist, but is very knowledgeable about GI issues and a very good diagnostician.  Good luck.[/quote]
