Hey all, I have a couple questions:

1. Should I go to my GI to get this hemmie checked out or can my regular doctor do it? I don't get to see my GI 'til October I think. Maybe late September.

2. Also, can my regular doctor prescribe me Bentyl (that is for cramps, right?)? Or does my GI have to do that? I would like to get ahold of some before school starts, because my colon hasn't adjusted to my wake-up time yet and I don't want to have to poo at school or on the hour drive to there.

1. When I showed my skin tag to my GI he said that I would have to talk to my regular dr to get it removed. I think it's because I would need a referral. I don't really think it matters. For me its WAY easier to get into see my regular dr than waiting 2 months to get into see my GI

2. Your regular dr could probably prescribe the bentyl.

Thanks. I've never been on Bentyl so I hope it does something.

Maybe, you can leave a message with your GI menitoning that you want to get a perscription for Bentyl.... maybe that can save you the time and the money.

Yeah... maybe I'll try that
