Nate's Story ~My son, Nathan has been seeing Dr. Saylor for about 5 months now. We could not be happier with the results. Nate has suffered from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) for the last 2 ½ years. Nate’s problems started around 1 year of age, after he went off formula and onto whole milk, we noticed him struggling to have bowel movements. At that time his pediatrician recommended trying lactose free or silk milk. Several months after being on lactose free milk, we still saw no improvement. We went on to see a GI specialist at Children’s Hospital. The doctor there put him on medication (laxative) and ran some tests to rule out any other medical conditions. The doctor said that the problems he was having would not get better over night and that it could take months or even years. The doctor also said to change his diet to a high fiber diet. I did the best I could, but those who have children know how hard it is to have a 2 year old eat only certain foods. A year later there was little improvement. We went back to the GI specialist, had more tests done and more medications to try.
It was now another year later and still no changes. In the fall of 2009, I took Nate to his regular pediatrician for his wellness exam. I told the doctor that Nate still struggles several times a day to have bowel movements, so he took some X-rays and revealed that his little body was full of stool. Nate was only having bowel movements once a week; sometimes once every two weeks! Dr. Saylor was wonderful with Nate! He was so afraid of doctors at this point, but she took the time to talk to him and explain how the KST device works. She even let him change the different tools as she worked on him. The jungle room is awesome! It makes the “doctor’s office” a fun place to go!
It took only eight weeks, going 2-3 times each week, to see improvement with Nate’s bowel issues. He now knows when he has to go and feels so much better. Nate is doing so well that we know see Dr. Saylor about once a month just to make sure that he’s feeling well and that everything is moving through like it should. I would highly recommend Van Every Family Chiropractic Center and Dr. Saylor to anyone!
