Unfortunately, yes and I wouldn’t recommend anyone get near that place with a 10 foot poll. Dr K is sadly driven only by your insurance. They play a lot of games with in-network vs out of network billing which ended up being really annoying to me the patient. Besides that, he’s actually not a very good doctor. He clearly forgets his patients and doesn’t want to be there or have the time to devote to us. I saw the other GIs in the group and I found the female GI doctor to be incredibly dismissive and condescending. She seemed over-worked and unhappy and frankly it was clear had no interest in helping me. MA took my blood and begged for me to leave positive reviews which is apparently how they get them. They just play marketing games. Also, look up the NPR article about how Dr K billed an insurance for cultures. The whole thing seems fishy and not kosher and you get the vibe that no one wants to be there or wants to help the patients. So yeah, I would find another celiac specialist!

      Muscle Twitching

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @aperlo34, The transistion to GFD seems scarier than it is.  It took my infant son six months to heal.  Adults take longer, six months to two years to heal the gut.   There are over 200 various symptoms and diseases that result from gluten and the resulting vitamin and mineral deficiencies malabsorption syndrome causes.  Most will go away in time.  I counted nineteen symptoms that improved with gluten free diet.  But it is also tricky, because gluten is found even in products like shampoo.  Read labels.  Be alert to cross contamination. Possibly the cramps in your side is from the withdrawal of gluten.  Gluten activates the opiod receptors and it takes time to clear.  It takes time to heal. Is that vitamin D3 daily?  I need to take 10,000 IU to keep my blood at 80 ng/ml the natural level.  It also help anxiety.   Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Low lithium levels in drinking water can affect anxiety.  Perhaps the increase in mass shootings is because everyone drinks bottled water.  5 mg of Lithium Orotate helped me with impatience to get results. ie. let things go when appropriate.  Lithium in the public water supply and suicide mortality in Texas Deficiency in the B vitamins especially Thiamine Riboflavin, Nicotinic Acid and Pantothenic Acid are common and deficiency can have all kinds of weird effects.  Iodine: Iodine Insufficiency in America: The Neglected Pandemic Vitamin D 10,000 IU (250 mcg) DHEA 100 mg 500 mcg Iodine 10 drops of Liquid Iodine B1 Thiamin 250 mg - Fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite, poor memory, and sleep disturbances, leg cramps.  B2 Riboflavin 100 mg B3 Nicotinic Acid 500 mg B5 Pantothenice Acid 500 mg Vitamin C 500 mg Selenium twice a week 200 mcg Some of the ingredients in your multivitamin can cause problems.  Especially folic acid.  Folic acid supplementation was associated with increased risk of prostate cancer. By contrast, baseline dietary folate was inversely associated with prostate cancer risk. Eat foods low in omega 6 to reduce inflammation.

      Fantastic! Be sure to ask about continuing gluten until the procedure should the GI doc want to do an endoscopy/biopsy. He/she may also want to repeat antibody testing.

      Cross contamination issues with Food Processing Companies

      I forgot to say. Some people are allergic to Almonds. If you don’t have that allergy then it should be safe as long as there are no gluten ingredients.

      Hi Aussie, I have to apologize “soy” by itself does not contain wheat or gluten like Adam said. Soy can be an allergy in its own for some people. I had soy sauce on my brain when I made that comment. But I do want to say this. I often wonder about the low 20 ppm the govt allows in food. It’s low but for some people this might be an issue. We don’t really know enough yet of what gluten really does to us. Does it stay in our gut and build up over time? It’s perplexing.
