does anyone go to Dr. Green? I hear he is THE Dr. to go to. I was curious to know if anyone who does go to him, or any of the doctors at Columbia, use Empire for their insurance. With Dr. Green you pay and then get reimbursed. Has anyone used Empire with him?

I'm sure they do accept some insurances. Dr. Green was asked by a woman Sunday why he doesn't take medicare and he said he does work with medicare. Just call the office and ask what insurances they participate with or just ask if they take yours.

Dr. Peter H.R. Green is founder and director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. From Dr. Green's Book, CELIAC DISEASE - A Hidden Epidemic, "The Celac Disease Center at Columbia University is the only center in the United States that provides comprehensive medical care, including nutrician, for adults and pediatric patients with celiac disease. It's mission is to redefine the future of celiac disease and treatment through continuing advances in biomedical research, patient care, and physician and public education. The center is diagnosing and treating more than two thousand patients annually from around the world."

You do not have to see Dr. Green himself at the Celiac Disease Center - there are several other doctors who work there, who are easier to obtain an appointment with, as well as having more insurance options. This is what I did.

There's no magic bullet yet for Celiac, though - you have to be on the diet to recover.

Glutenase cannot be used by people with Celiac Disease to safely consume gluten, although it probably wouldn't hurt to take it.

I have celiac and I take glutenease EVERYTIME I eat out, as a precaution. I figure it can't hurt. So far I have not gotten sick. I take it as a precaution to cc issues. I realized recently they recommend taking it with one of the companies enzymes as well, so I will be picking up a bottle of that too.

Hello,

I was wondering what the situation would be if you went to the celiac disease center at columbia university with no insurance? I have none right now and was wondering if reimbursement would occur even with no insurance, if not, what occurs for a person with no insurance? Thank you.

Have you asked Columbia if any of the doctors at the Celiac Center take Oxford Liberty?

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3.  I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules.  I take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills.  They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      Thank you for the response. I didn't think of  the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57!  I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea.  If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread...

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.
