I agree with everything you said, White Ridges. Yes, doctors think they are "little gods" and many I no longer respect their ability to help me. If they don't know something, they blame it on other stuff or say it could be this, could be that. They will never say they "don't know" but I found my Type 1 diabetic doctor say "I know nothing about that disease...
My only problem is cross-contamination. You have to make sure your foods are processed in an environment with only the food you can eat. I think I've been cross-contaminated on several occasions, and got sick. Be careful and read ingredients diligently.
Your guess is as good as mine. I have not a clue. All I know is that he's a fine person and helped me tremendously. Trust his simple fecal tests. They have been 100% accurate.
I don't understand why Gastroenterologist's are ill-informed on Celiac and especially Microscopic Colitis. Don't get me started. They know zilch about MC and wanted to give me hundreds of Pepto Bismol tablets a day at the Mayo Clinic, down in Jacksonville, FL. I took them and fell down and lost my balance. I took Pepto Bismol by the hundreds as a kid with...
I was wondering if Dr. Fine is still practicing. A super nice guy and singer/song writer plus guitar player to boot. I know him from having Microscopic Colitis and he found I have MC and Celiac Disease. He's trying to gain awareness for MC and Celiac Disease. I know he moved from Dallas but closed shop and headed out west to Utah or Arizona. Can y'all help...
I hope this is a new topic. My husband's maternal grandmother was lactose intolerant. My husband craved bread like candy and also milk. When we dated he had flatulence daily. I didn't know why because I didn't know I had Celiac disease. He had symptoms! I'm begging him to get a fecal test by Dr. Fine.
Thanks Knitty kitty. Can you tell me about your father? My father was impossible to live with and to have a normal childhood. I cried many a day!
When I only had Celiac Disease, life was easier to live a less than semi-normal existence. I knew something was wrong, but didn't know what it was or why I was fatigued, unable to think in normal situations...
I'm a Type 1 diabetic. I've had "Silent Celiac Disease" since a wee tot. Bloated stomach, arms, face and legs, you name it, I have it! Plus I cried all the time and held my abdomen. My father served in WWII and the Korean War. He built our home with his own hands and we lived in an army barrack on our little plot of land. We were poor! We made do! He obtained...
I was born with Silent Celiac Disease. I look at my photos as a wee tot and child and I am crying while holding my abdomen. My dresses were tight! It was a hot steamy day at Ft. McAllister, Richmond Hill, near Savannah, GA, and my top was off and I'm poking my stomach that's blown up like a balloon. We were poor and there were more things to contend with...
