Hi, me and my family are newly moved to Hong Kong, about 6 months. I've struggled with IBS for the past few years living in the US and now I'm having a hard time finding good resources in Hong Kong.
-Can anyone recommend a good doctor generalist or GI doctor that seems to understand IBS and digestive issues?
-Does anyone have a good supply of probiotics or other natural supplements that they can source conveniently and not too expensive in Hong Kong? I find that the prices for the supplements at the high-end wellness centers or grocery stores all tend to be pretty expensive!
Appreciate your help and recommendations!

Hi,
My mother has struggled with IBS for many years and we tried many different treatments in HK before settling on one. She now sees a nutritionist (Miles Price) regularly who helps her mediate her digestive issues and general health. His office is at the Life Clinic treatment centre.

Ok, thanks for sharing the information. What kind of treatments did Dr Miles recommend?

Welcome to HK. Another treatment you may consider that recently became available in Hong Kong is called FMT (fecal microbiota transplant) therapy. There is a site that posted some information for IBS sufferers: http://asiabiobank.com/for-patients/resources/ibs-irritable-bowel-syndrome-alternative-treatment-fmt-therapy/
It seems that you can contact them about how to arrange FMT therapy for IBS or other kids of GI diseases such as IBD. Their website is http://asiabiobank.com/
Good luck!

Try "KEFIR" probiotic which you grow yourself - I feed mine with Jersey 4.2 milk and it thrives.
I've been eating it with my breakfast muesli for every alternate day for well over 10 years.
You can find my advert for it here and on GeoExpat --- It just grows & grows!!
