Hi ,does anyone know of any dieticians in CM.. ?

Can be private or attached to a hospital  but one you can recommend through a successful  experience would be preferable obviously.

I have IBS and need more than Mr.Google to start me on the correct path to eliminating it

Many thanks

That link is not working Sheryl

Do you have the doctors name?

I can take it from there.

Thank you

There are specific tests that can be done (outpatient) if a motility problem is suspected.

 

"Motility Center" is a bit of an exaggeration. It is the regular GI center.  With capacity for some motility tests.

 

As with everything else all depends on the skill of the specific doctor you see

 

Cannot do better than this:

He has successfully diagnosed a number of TV members when other doctors could not

Thanks Sheryl

It was my GI doctor that called it a Mortility Centre  I had never heard of one before

I have been referred by my GI doctor here in CM to a motility centre at either Bumrunggrad or Bangkok Hospital in BK

Basically the doctors here cannot understand why I have constant diorreah and stomach pain.

I have had a CT Scan

I Endoscopy

I Colonoscopy

All negative for anything nasty.

Pollips removed and have come back negative, so after 3 different diagnosis they have given up and reffered me to this centre which I have never heard of.

I have spent time trying to find out   but both have not got back to me.

I have asked a doctor from both hospitals to contact  me but neither has so far

So I thought I would put it out there and ask you guys if you have any experience of what a Motolity Centre does?

From Googleing myself it seems that they spend a lot more time than an ordinary GI doctor has to fix you  and may prescribe"special medication"

But I don't know if this is done as an inpatient or outpatient?

Anyone?

Thanks.

The reason being that when I read the rare papers authored by Thai doctors there is very little focus on preserving the urinary and sexual functions. 

I can testify to this through my own experiences

I can recommend Dr.Chalermpong at Ram

I am aware it's a big private hospital, but you should always buy the doctor ,not the hospital

Anyway I think only charges 500 baht a visit

Best doctor in Chiang Mai,and believe me  I have see a great many

I know, I know, I tried to figure out what my gf now wife got when she ended up in Hospital and we got 60k in bill for 4 days and nights, and had to wait to 16:00 before they let her go. I googled all of them and just deleted coloured non medication 3 out of 5 as far I could understand, but at least we only had to pay covid test and 5k in Deductible. 

We're you billed for an extra night?

Is that why they kept you till after 4pm?

To add: Before Rezum operation my erection and libido were weak. After the operation my erection and libido are even weaker than before. How come?

My sexual functions have never been the same since I had prostrate surgery.

Retrograde orgasms , and I need "medicinal help" for any kind off sexual activity, but intercourse is now out of the question , my erections are too weak.

Go with Wittiwat...................I see him on a regular follow up basis. Speaks excellent English too.

 

Can't agree with your recommendation 

I will admit his English is very good

I'm sorry to hear this.

I can only say that from my POV if you need a good urologist you have to fly down to BK.

I have been underwhelmed with the 5 urologists I have been treated by in CM

My first health check here was at Ram, and all subsequent yearly health checks at Rajaveg Hospital. There are two obvious differences between the two; Rajaveg was about 3,000 baht cheaper for the same tests, and Ram had carpeting on the floor in the waiting room.
I don't make an appointment. I fast after dinner the night before, show up at the hospital at 8am and immediately get taken for blood test and the rest of the program. Usually finished by 8:45.  I leave and have breakfast, come back at 10am for physician's physical exam and consultation on test results, and home by 10:45. Usually no waiting more than 2-3 minutes to be seen at each station.

Very smoothly run program. In and out quickly with both printed results and DVD of ultrasound. I think I paid 4,700 Baht last month for this.

 

Rajevej also gets my vote

On this slow Saturday I just thought “what vaccine did  Xi Jingping get”?  Recently I went to Singapore and SinoVac was a not an approved vaccine for entry.  So for LOS any vaccine will be accepted?  

 

“Great countries are lead by great leaders who give careful thought before making decisions”.

 

Of course as an American I no longer apply this saying for American Leaders.  In essence the US Government is now a “clown show”.  

 

 

I remember when the PM was supposed to make a public appearance for his shot of vax.

He was to be the first recipient.

But when he found out it was  gonna get Sinovac he promptly cancelled and did the whole thing again once Astrozenica was available.

You could not make this stuff up it's so farcical.

So obviously the Chinese vaccine is useless by his own reluctance to take it.

Bangkok Post reports that Thailand will once again require proof of two covid shots for all visitors. Also health insurance is required of all visitors whose next destination requires a negative antigen test. And what of us who have had two or three shots in Thailand and the app that used to display the record of our shots no longer works???

So that means all the foreigners from the west who are unvaccinated will now not be allowed entry to the Kingdom?

I can see this playing out very badly for tourism.

The unvaccinated that wanted to come for a holiday will just cancel  rather than be vaccinated because  they hold strong anti-vaccine views

Tell ne this is not the case?

no negative test...no entry

 

With recent covid cases exploding in China does thailand really want to roll the dice allowing untold numbers of chinese to show up untested just as Thailand is starting to recover from covid?  Tests are not perfect but better than nothing.  Don't wait til the horse is out of the barn to close the door.

It would appear that do!!

I really hope they change thier minds

But decisions are now being made by a man who has had 6 vaccine shots and as deputy prime Minister has aspirations for the top job if he can keep the economy moving forward

I see Japan and the US, very sensibly, are demanding negative covid tests......I guess Thailand will do the same.....but probably too late.

Latest news is saying the Tgai Government will just open the floodgates, no testing required

I see nothing positive coming out if this announcement

It seems the Thai authorities  are willing to sacrifice all the gains they made with low covid rates to satisfy the greed of the big tourism companies, and the Chinese Government 

Thailand could well be swamped with Covid......now it's not that easy to get covid vaccines for top ups, well it is here in CM, only a few small hospitals have decent vaccines.

If you got 2 Chinese vaccines to begin with , then these are useless now because they don't work.

China has proved this

I can tell you that a lot of Chinese, including Hong Kong'ers etc.. have been couped up for nearly 3 years.

 

So they will be ready to Travel come Chinese New Year and beyond.  Question is, will they pick Thailand ?  Probably spread the tourist bucks around, I'm sure some will choose other nearby places.  Could be anywhere from Korea, Japan, to Bali, Malaysia, Vietnam and others.

 

But surely Thailand will get a boost for Chinese NY, thats what I'm getting from my sources.

But will those "other places" be stupid enough to let them in?

I got a box of 25mg Sandoz Avrostatin from the pharmacy just outside Topps supermarket in Airport Plaza yesterday

990 baht

Don't these hospitals ask you if you've had 3 jabs, and, if so, are they willing to give another one ?

Don't think they care.

I have had 4 and nobody ever asked me how many I gave had

Anutin ,the Health  Minister has had 6 or 8 not absolutely  sure .
