ok thats it ive had enough, ive read to many accounts of shody patient care and a sheer inability to look at the facts. <_<

I was lucky enough to get a good peadi GI. who knows his stuff and didnt just go 'oh we'll monitor you'

But it infuriates me to see that others of you have been less fortunate. i mean how hard can it be to listen to what we have to say. If my doctor can diagnose me with no symptoms except anemia then others should be able to get it right when presented with a patient with all the symptoms.

And then when they do run the bloodtests they run the wrong ones or not enough of them, and according to them being gluten free doesnt effect the results.. i want to know how they managed to qualify without the basic knowladge that removing the cause of the reaction stops the damage. :blink:

grr i could go on all night :angry:

I second your rant!

It seems like far too many doctors quit learning when they left med school, are totally burned out, and just want to get through the day by getting the patient out of the office in the allotted 15-20 minute time frame so the day is that much closer to being over.

Are they going into medicine for all the wrong reasons or what? It just seems like patient care and wellness isn't a goal, especially when it involves a bit of detective work.

Adding my "amen".

And after the patient finally manages to get dx'd, after years or decades of agony....dufus doctors, don't just hand them a gluten free diet sheet, kick them out the door and then fail to follow up when the patient continues to suffer long term complications as a result of their delayed diagnosis. Understand that years of celiac disease can take a toll on the human body, and some things (autonomic and peripheral nerve damage, pancreas damage etc. etc) may not reverse and need further treatment.

When I started having GI problems, my first instinct was not to go to my doctor. I tried to figure it out on my own. So then at one of my annual check-ups I told him I thought I had a problem w/wheat. He said, "It's probably gluten". He didn't give me any advice. Didn't order any tests. I didn't know enough to think there were any questions to ask. Seemed easy enough to me. This is just another food allergy. All I have to do is look for gluten on the labels :P. When I FINALLY figured it out and had gradually eliminated gluten from my diet, I wasn't :o about to go back for tests. I was not going back on gluten for that. When my DD started to have her own issues she went to him and said her mom thinks she has celiac and she[my DD] wanted to be tested. He got bent out of shape saying her mother can't dx herself and he wouldn't test her unless her mom did first. :o:angry::wacko:

Let me clarify something I just said. When the dr said it might be gluten, I started looking for the WORD "gluten" on labels. :lol: I thought that's all I had to do!

      Vaccines

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too. I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience. They take you seriously and they check everything. I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.

      Vaccines

      When I went to the Mayo Clinic back in 21' it was pretty amazing. The doctor sat and went over everything with me for a couple hours. I finally had to ask him if he had other patient to see. He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5...

      Vaccines

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

He said that not until he was done with me. I went back to my hotel room that day after some blood work and then got an itinerary of tests to be done over the next 5 days. It was unbelievable. I had what would've been 4 years of testing back home done in 5 days. I went home at the end of 5 days and got my results a week later on a zoom call. EPI and rapid gastric emptying syndrome. I do have celiac disease but that wasn't the cause of my continued symptoms. Those people up there are great. Wouldn't that be amazing if all medical care was like that?  That's weird that the antibodies are that high. Hopefully it's not refractory celiac disease. Good luck.
