Sorry, I don't live there, but my dad lives in St. Pete ... I actually used to live there, too. It's a beautiful area.

Welcome to the board.

I live on the East Coast of Florida but I would recommend Dr. Perlman, I believe she is the doctor I go to at the Children's Hospital in Tampa. I forget the name but its right bast Tropicana Stadium where the Devil Rays play.

I'm in Tampa. I found a great doctor who practices traditional medicine and also deals with natural remedies. She really has helped me a lot. My bloodwork was negative but my dietary response is amazing. She never doubted me or made me feel like I was crazy.

Her name is Gael Wheeler 813-265-8555.

I saw several gi guys in town and didn't have much luck with them. Definitely don't go to Dr. Frank, he was terrible.

Please let me know if I can help you at all.

My dad owns a night club in Clearwater. I don't want to use the board as an advertisement, so I won't post the name ... they have a full kitchen and cook for me there. They are the kind of place that has bands during the week, and a DJ on the weekends (older crowd, they card carefully). They don't serve much food, but have a full kitchen, so make a great steak. If you want more info, PM me. It's always good to know where you can go safely for food!!

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
