When I was a teenager I had acne issues (this was in the 1960s) and was put on a long term regimin of tetracycline.

Several years ago I attended a celiac group meeting in Tucson and I was referred to a doctor who was serving as the Celiac Group's resource for medical info. He was very helpful to my situation (Dr Lindsey Pearson) but I understand that he's no longer in Tucson. Can you tell me what doctor is working with your group now as I'm once again looking for a doctor...

Hello. My 13 YO son has celiac disease and terrible acne. Our older son, not celiac disease is using a product that is new on the mkt within the last few years called SHIELD. Body wash, cream and patches. Wonderful results. I contacted the Co and they were very helpful but definitely suggested we contact our G.I. specialist, I have done so but I have not heard back from her. Below is the correspondence with the company and I was wondering if anyone here could please tell me whether or not these ingredients are safe. Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our products! To ensure transparency, here is the full list of ingredients used in our products.

so im short a year of diagnosis this october. As soon as I was diagnosed i quit all gluten and relied on buckwheat and potatoes at times as my carb sources. Due to a power outage i could not eat buckwheat for a couple days, i felt better but when power was back on i ate buckwheat and felt sick, i soon cut it out of my diet.long story short I have developed psoriasis and cramping in my calves and feet, brutal cramping at that. I cut out rice and potatoes and corn and eggs as consuming them would make my psoriasis extremely itchy. I have only ate sweet poatoes and plantins for two months straight 5 to 6 times a day with no symptoms other than slow digestion of small intestine. I was also diagnosed with raynauds phenomenon recently. that's three auto immune diseases that i know about, I have constant belching from mouth even just eating chicken, Im so sick of sweet potatoes and plantains, i have no idea what to eat anymore. the major trigger I have had with celiac is my nervous system, I was numb to everything and as I heal i have more sensation. I got sick with flu and covid during this time and I felt physically and mentally fine even though my wife was vomiting, i could feel the body aches and chills but was numb to feeling sick to my stomach. its like celiac masked the sensation which is scary cause if I was really sick with something serious I would not know it. Im at the point that im eating rice and potatoes even though it flares my psoriasis and causing inflammation and this numbness in my stomach genital area as my digestion get slower. I think im lacking enzymes but dont know for sure my dr has done so many blood tests for liver, pancreas, gall bladder, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid all which she says comes back fine. I dont know what to do anymore, am i hurting my small intestine (villi) by eating eggs, rice and corn? they do flare my itch psoriasis and cause inflammation to the point of numbness in lower stomach genital area, but is it affecting my villi? i need carbs, but all these grains effect my nervous system, I have so much gas from eating it affect my erections and sensations during sex, i havent had sexual arousal in almost a year, i only feel strong pressure and when it is over the pressure is gone and i have a lot of flatulence. its the strangest thing like something needs to relax down there and it relives pressure and gas. need help, my dr dosent know what to do. do i need immune suppressants? thanks.

While I don’t have a specific personal recommendation, there are several ways to find a skilled GI doctor in Tucson who specializes in celiac disease. Check the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Healthcare Practitioner Directory for listed providers in Arizona: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/find-a-healthcare-practitioner/ Also, local healthcare systems like Banner-University Medicine or El Rio Health may have gastroenterologists with celiac expertise—consider asking for referrals to doctors familiar with gluten-related disorders. When contacting potential doctors, ask about their experience with celiac diagnosis, follow-up protocols, and whether they work with dietitians. -
