Does anyone know of a good GI doctor in southern Indiana? Particularly in or around Bloomington or Evansville. I live about 25 miles south of Bloomington.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have any advice, but you live really close to most of my mom's family. They're in Lawrence County.

I wonder if any of the IU med gastros do office visits in Bloomington. They're all based out of Indy, but maybe they travel down 1-2 days a week -- it might be worth checking in to.

I live in Lawrence Co. too. IU is in Bloomington. I love my GI in Wisconsin and really don't want a new one but I'm getting sick again.

Yeah, but the IU med school is in Indy, so the GIs associated with it are all likely based in Indy as well.

Oh sorry, I didn't know that. Thanks. I could drive to Indy; it's not too far. Congrats on your pregnancy, btw.

;). I know more about the IU med system than a non-Indiana resident "should" because my sis is a doc at Riley, which is part of the IU system. She lives in the Indy area.

And thanks!

Oh cool. I have lived here a couple years but have just been talking with my GI in Wisconsin still. But now I'm on the max of all my meds and still not getting better. I'm glad it looks like you are doing good though!

Sorry that you're flaring, Sara. It's great that Fruitgirl can give you some leads. Did you look to see if CCFA lists any gastros in Indy or Bloomington? I'd advise you to follow thru & find a reliable one who is closer-- though you hate to leave the one in WI. For many yrs I hung onto the one who diagnosed me due to the comfy endoscopy unit there, but it eventually proved bad for me because that doctor was a generalist & not keeping up with meds/UC issues. I changed in a crisis state, which I would likely not have gotten into with a UC-savvy gastro. It took 3 mo. on disability leave from work to recover from the flare I had then. So-- definitely take care. / Old Hat (31 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

Thanks, Old Hat. I will definitely check out ccfa. I had forgotten about that. Ugh...I definitely don't want this flare to end up like the one you had to deal with when you switched doctors. Hope you're doing well!

Any other suggestions? I'm not too far from Indy either. And I'm not super far from Louisville either.
