No, they still don't. I went to a GI doctor recently with the complaint that I can't consume caffeine, or oily foods anymore without stomach issues. He prescribed a GI antibiotic to "try." Nothing has changed but I'm a bit poorer.

- treeman79 5y agoI had a mystery illness. I kept a 4 page sheet of symptoms and what helped hurt. One doctor read though it and correctly diagnosed the mystery illness. (Sjogrens) Later verified. Turned out the line that caught his attention was that symptoms always eased up when I took doxicyline. This 80 year old doctor had seen that enough to pick out the illness. There is some minimal research into the topic but in general it’s a taboo subject and no doctor will consider a round as a test to see if it will help.
