Can anyone recommend a GOOD doctor in TX: San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Abeline? I live in San Angelo and today had a VERY bad experience with the GI I had been referred to here (more details in my post in the pre-diagnosis forum). We're willing do drive to find a GOOD doctor that actually KNOWS about Celiac Disease and LISTENS to patients and takes them seriously. If anyone has any recommendations/experiences with doctors within a 4 hour radius from here, I'd love to hear about them! Thanks so much!

Hi, I'm not anywhere near TX, but I wanted to suggest if you don't get any answers here, seek out your local gluten-free support group and e-mail them. They usually have liasions with drs that know about celiac disease.

Thank you! I'm actually seeking out groups now. There isn't one near here, but I've scouted out the web sites of one in San Antonio and one in Dallas. I think the one in SA looks promising and I'm going to get ahold of them. My husband and I will be there in November anyway, so we'll stay another day or two if it means getting in with a competent doctor!

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By Juliana82 · Posted

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.
