For anyone out there in the Twin Cities, Minnesota area, I just took my DD to see a physician at MN Gastroenterology - Dr Lisko.  He was amazing!  Spent an hour talking with us and kept repeatedly telling us, he had all the time in the world.  He specializes in Celiac disease.  Based on her symptoms and suspicion of celiac disease - she is already scheduled for an endoscopy day after tomorrow. 

 

I thought I would provide another resource for those in this area.

Is this a pediatric gastro?  I live in an area of MN where there is not a pediatric gastroenterologist.  We would need to travel to the Twin Cites to see one.

He is not a pediatric gastro, he sees adults.  DD is now 22.  Sorry :(

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
