"Dustin Kiker is great! First GI doctor to take my symptoms seriously and actually order tests to figure out the cause (instead of just telling me I have anxiety and ibs and sending me on my way).

I do need something for pain since I am off all my arthritis medicine. Quick question though—can I take glucosamine with chondroitin? My primary also suggested Symbalta which I am not sure about. Let me know what you think"
