Tell me about other doctors in NYC besides Dr. Green? Who do you see? Why are they good?

Not exactly NYC, but Fort Lee NJ, close enough. I saw Dr Meininger. He was wonderful. Spent over an hour with me. Explained every question that I had and didn't make me feel like I was taking up too much of his time. My last dr couldn't get out of the room fast enough. I felt extremely comfortable with him and he didn't leave me with unanswered questions. He gave me suggestions and advice. One of the best drs I've ever seen.

If you want more info, let me know....

What do you mean by "an hour? yeah right next"

The specialist I was seeing I was lucky if he spent 2 minutes with me and didn't answer any ?s I had at all. I have elevated pancreatic levels as well and I'm concerned that there might be somthing else going on with me besides celiac. So I was extremely happy that this guy took the time with me to go over all of the concerns that I had.

I was kidding you. It was my disbelief that any doctor would spend an hour w/ you, me or anybody else.

Pancreatic enzyme deficiency in itself can be a side effect of celiac, without any secondary cause for the pancreatic enzyme deficiency. It is pretty easy to treat though; just take pills with each meal. In my experience most doctors won't test for it unless you ask first, which is really really stupid. Good luck with it.

LOL!! Exactly why I thought he was a good dr!!!

Thanks for the info on the pancreatic stuff. I'm hoping that is all that it is and nothing more. The new dr did suggest that that could be what it is....Thanks again

      PS - 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. You mentioned that your bowel movements may be a bit more regular, so this could be another indication of NCGS.

      You did not mention your age, but depending on how old you are it makes a big difference on how important it is to get a flu vaccine.

      Yes no gluten in my diet. I get so sick that I have to go to the ER for fluids and medicine. I was diagnosed in 2017 but was told I probably have had it my whole life. (Went to Mayo in 2019 to confirm diagnoses and address all other autommune issues ect.) Also intolerance to sugar alcohols and chicory root. Try to eat clean and stay away from processes foods...

      Dawn, are you diligent with the gluten free diet? When were you diagnosed with celiac disease?

      Your situation is not straightforward, so it’s understandable why you’re seeking clarity. Your elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOs) and thyroglobulin levels suggest autoimmune thyroid involvement, possibly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, even though your thyroid function currently appears normal. The link between autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease is well-documented, but your celiac panel results are inconclusive, with only the deamidated gliadin IgA elevated. As you doctor correctly mentioned, this could indicate non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) rather than celiac disease, especially since you lack classic GI symptoms. However, the absence of improvement after four months gluten-free is notable. While some non-GI symptoms like fatigue and brain fog can take longer to resolve, the lack of progress raises questions about whether gluten is the primary driver of your symptoms. It might be worth revisiting the possibility of a biopsy (after a gluten challenge) to rule out celiac definitively, or exploring other potential contributors, such as nutrient deficiencies, other autoimmune conditions, or even dysautonomia, given your temperature regulation and energy issues. Have you had your thyroid levels retested since going gluten-free? If not, I would do that before resuming a regular gluten diet. It would be interesting to see if there has been any normalization in those levels while on a gluten-free diet.
