Hey, any good celiac disease Doctors in the Orlando, Fl area????

We also have a Dr. that we've been going to for years with all the health problems that my husband has had. He's been diagnose with IBS, Reflux Desease and all sorts of things. A friend of ours is the one that clued us in on celiac disease as possible problem. My husband has been gluten-free for 4months now without the Docotor's help. He's also been off Priolosec for about 2 months. No wander the Insurance Companies or Doctor's doesn't recognize celiac disease, because once you do the lifestyle change diet, then you stay healthy, then drug companies and Doctor's don't make there money on you, when you have to keep coming back over and over again for tests and drugs. It's a round robin that keeps the drug companies rich.

Now the Life Insurance should recognize celiac disease, because when you are on a gluten-free diet, then you have a better chance of staying healthy and less chance of something happening to you with other related problems. In the long run, I would think it would save them money. At least that's my thought.

My best to you and your husband.

Thanks.

I live in Cocoa Beach and am in the process of finding a GI too, so I can't help you there. I am seeing a new one locally on Monday and am in the process of being referred to Shands in Gainesville, FL.

But here is the website for our support group. We have an excellent leader and all around group.

I'm sure he will know of a support group in Orlando who could tell you which doctor to see. If not, come over to our group. We meet February 11th at 1pm ... And we are having a pot luck dinner / gluten-free beer tasting party ...

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:
