Anyone have success with Chinese/Oriental medicine?
Hi,
I have a 2 year old with digestion problems, chronic stomach aches. Because he has fallen in his growth charts, his pediatrician wants us to see a GI doctor. Everyone I have spoken to say that the tests were traumatic for their children, to top that the GI doc didn't find any problem to solve. My husband is not up for taking my son to the GI doc and have tests done on him. I am considering an oriental medicine doc (my husband doesn't want to try that either, but that's another story). I have a referral to a doc who lives an hour away from where I live. Has anyone had luck with trying the Oriental medicine for their little ones? How do they diagnose the problem? Or do they have some general 'tonics' or medicines common for everyone?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
