I went and saw and allergist who was unwilling to test me for celiacs because I have been gluten-free since Oct of 09. He did do arm prick that raised slightly and a blood test for wheat allergies only and that came back negative today... He's telling me that I am not allergic... I have classic symptoms of Celiacs and when I am accidentally "Glutened" it's bad enough that I miss work. I need to be diagnosed so I can get fmla and not lose my job over my illness. any help from you guys would be great

My daughter lives in Portland. She was diagnosed w/ celiac disease last fall... and since then her symptoms have escalated to the point where they've investigated interstitial cystitis and other crazy things. I think it was "celiac mommy" who recommended Dr. Char Glenn in Portland... an internist who specializes in celiac disease. Daughter has seen her and is also seeing a naturopath who says Dr. Glenn is the best. She's having more testing done (she had bloodwork and an eodoscopy to diagnose celiac disease) to see what the heck is going on... but she LOVES Dr. Glenn!

Thank you celiac mom for recommending her!!

I saw Dr. Glenn yesterday, as a matter of fact! She is AMAZING!! She spent an hour with me, and the one thing I love about her the best is no matter what the issue, she tends to go for a 'natural' remedy first before she writes a prescription. I've been seeing her for 2 years now and I adore her!

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Not sure about the state of my osteopenia. I haven't had a DEXA scan done since about age 50 and I'm now 74. No fractures, though. I have significant curvature of the upper spine (kyphosis) but that was well along by the time I was diagnosed with celiac disease almost 25 years ago. So, I think it may have been arrested at least.

      Zinc is also a very important supplement when it comes to infection resistance.

      I've got my initial appointment with a gastro for a month from now and then I'm assuming we'll schedule my endoscopy from there for a confirmation of the diagnosis. I feel like it's pretty clear since my results are 18x the normal range but I know an endoscopy is the standard. I'll definitely post how that goes. How are you doing with your osteopenia since your diagnosis? Have you found any relief? Thank you for the support and answering my questions. This is all kind of overwhelming.

      Have you tried adding in additional thiamine in the form called Benfotiamine?  Athletes need extra thiamine.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill and also when we're emotionally stressed.  A regular B Complex or multivitamin probably doesn't have enough thiamine.  Check the label for which type of thiamine is in your vitamins.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not desirable.  Benfotiamine has been shown to improve athletic performance and stamina, as well as improve recovery time.

      @knitty kittyExtra strength multivitamin, B complex, magnesium, Vitamin D, vitamin C and electrolytes first thing in the AM and in the evening. Blood work was always full pannel. Only thing off thats reoccurring in my blood work is that my b12 level is always sitting around 750-830 and has not moved from prior to diagnosis to now.
