Dr Rodney Ford's Blog

Hi again Dr. Ford,

In your opinion how is it that my one daughter has celiac and I do not get a positive Dx. I have been dx with IBS though. They also went down my throat and did not see any sprue. Blood work normal except for that IGG being 40. I have been so consumed with this and people think I am nuts. I have weird neuro things happen when I eat gluten. I am not going to eat it anymore because your previous email said not to. Do you know of any good doctors in Seattle area in regards to celiac. Should I go to a naturopath or a dietitian? My daughter is 100% gluten-free and I still have two more daughters to see if they have celiac or just have a sensitivity. Wouldn't myself or my husband have had to pass the DQ8 Gene on to our one daughter? I will buy your book too! Thanks. Julie McHenry

Thanks Dr. Ford! Again you have created something so simple and understandable for small children (and adults) to understand. My little boy watched both your videos and really enjoyed them. They are a wonderful tool for teaching those! around us the importance of being gluten free. I have embedded them on my blog as well (healthy-family.org) Well done!

Hi Julie,

You can still be gluten intolerant and not have celiac disease. There are also known cases of celiac disease where the genes were not present. Trust your instinct and your own reactions when determining your reactions to a food or foods. If you would like more assistance I am located in Seattle at the IBS Treatment Center and would be happy to see you.

this is good
