celiac3270, I didn't realize that you had been hospitalized. I am glad to hear that you are home again after your second hospital visit and pray that this surgery will be the answer for you. Cheers, Ruth S. Strack 2004

celiac3270, Wishing you a speedy and uneventful (except for happiness and joy) recovery. Rest, then let us know how you are doing.

(By the way, which hospital were you at for this surgery?)

Columbia Presbyterian -- the same hospital that Dr. Greene and my GI (celiac-specialist) practice at.

And thank you....the swelling went down a little bit with the pill--and I've just been relaxing, posting, and reading (right now it's Bringing Down the House -- a NY Times bestseller that I'm really enjoying right now).....no further incident w/ anything :)

Hi celiac3270.....hope you are doing better. Who is the dr that you see at Columbia. I called ther last month to make an appt as I am moving to NJ this week and wanted to see Peter Green. Of course he is very busy and does not take my ins. They suggested that I see an associate. I think her name was Dr Lee.

I didn't make the appt yet but would love to hear about your experience there.

I saw a GI dr in NJ last month and he was OK....not Columbia material though.

Take care of yourself,

Dr. Green doesn't take children so, since I'm only 14, I see Dr. Joseph Levy. Everyone, it seems, who has ever had him has been extremely pleased--he takes the time to talk to you, confident, reassuring, etc. He's only a pediatric doctor, though....I assume that you meant my normal GI, who specializes in celiac, at Columbia

Awwwww... I feel bad, I haven't been around and didn't know! I'm so glad you are home. FYI -- if you (or anyone else) ever needs any kind of ng tube again (let's hope NOT) ask the nurses for chloroseptic when they place it, and for as long as you have it. Doesn't remove the pain entirely, but for some people it can help take the edge off.

Let's pray this is going to make the difference for you, after so much searching for help! You're the man! :)

      Thiamine and other B vitamins are available without a prescription, but it's always best to discuss supplementing with your doctor and dietician.   I take Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD.  (Avoid Thiamine Mononitrate because it's not well absorbed or used by brain f bodies.)  Benfotiamine especially helps heal the gastrointestinal tract.  Thiamine TTFD is great for improving brain function and mood.  They all work to improve everything, but Thiamine TTFD through the blood brain barrier the easiest, so the brain starts working to control everything better. Every form of Thiamine needs magnesium to make enzymes.  I like Magnesium Threonate which enters the brain more easily than other forms.  Low magnesium contributes to anxiety and depression.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so a B Complex is a good idea.  Don't worry if it already has thiamine in it.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   I get mine online.

      So far, current research does not show that celiac disease directly “destroys” the gallbladder or routinely causes it to need removal. What we do know is that undiagnosed or untreated celiac disease can affect digestion in several ways, including changes in bile flow and fat absorption, which may increase the risk of gallstones in some people. That said, gallbladder disease is also very common in the general population, particularly among women, and many people have their gallbladders removed for reasons unrelated to celiac disease. In some cases, digestive symptoms from undiagnosed celiac may be mistaken for gallbladder problems, which can complicate the picture. So while there may be overlap, it is not accurate to say that celiac disease routinely destroys the gallbladder or that most people with celiac will need it removed.

      Currently having to stop because of mri imaging and past medical stuff that was told to stop with vitamins that would interfere. I keep asking if im diabetic because of the Ketones and when I looked up it mirrors my issues but im negative supposedly. Its all because Im not eating gluten because formerly diagnosed celiac back then just food consumption. Issues is in Cali they aren't addressing the autoimmune part which im currently battling as " just the flu they call it" not its my controlled by mouth celiac but not controlled autoimmune part which last employment damn near killed me as a bus driver and thats the celiac malpractice issue. No care of the patient, as im in this situation. Celiac should follow FOREVER in medical records no matter marriage change name, insurance change, change of anything.It is a battle that is not fair to the patients at all.
