i need a good ( hopefully nearby to oroville,CA.)   doctor with recent knowlege of how a severe gluten allergy can be treated, to limit exacerbation of  adrenal and other physical problems.

 

i do have medicare as primary, and CalPers,secondary insurance,

 

but can hardly drive far and walk too.  local referring hospitals and etc  have nothing to offer.

 

Hopefully you will call or write to me asap

 

as my regular dr, is out of town, and i need immediate treatment? or ?

 

e mail  ASAP, to  carolynhunter@wildblue.net

I don't know any doctors there.  I bet there are some GI docs in Sacramento that would be good.  

 

I am not sure why you need immediate medical treatment?  Celiac disease doesn't usually need a lot of treatment besides the gluten free diet.  If you are having some sort of issue that can't wait for your doctor to come back - is there a doctor covering his/her practice?  or The Emergency room if you are having some extreme issues?

thanks......... but my condition is more serious than most gluten intolerant people..... therefore 'time is more important in  my complicated case.. and a knowlegable dr. could help my regular doc help me to stay alive.

Have you been diagnosed with Celiac disease?  Are you looking for a GI for that?  Even if you are already diagnosed,  there isn't much for a doctor to do.

Heres a reliable site with good info about Celic disease -

"The only treatment available

When you have biopsy-diagnosed celiac disease, you will be instructed to begin a gluten-free diet....."

Also, just a positive DNA for Celiac does not mean you have Celiac. About 30% of people have the gene but only about 1% have Celiac. You would want to get some antibody blood tests & maybe an endoscopy with biopsies.

      I strongly agree with others about processed gluten free foods, like breads and pasta, being bad for us. Read the labels, full of this starch and that starch, seed oils that are inflammatory, etc. Before you were celiac, you probably wouldn't even touch something with those ingredients. I do much better with whole foods, meat, veggies, a little fruit. I made 90% myself, make extra and freeze it for future meals. Cutting out processed gluten free food and eating mostly real whoke food helped me feel much better. And definitely benfotiamine!

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please be sure to try Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride.  The form Thiamine Mononitrate is not absorbed nor utilized well.  Benfotiamine is much more bioavailable.  Perhaps Thiamine Mononitrate was in your previous B Complex supplements, explaining why they didn't work for you.   All the B vitamins work together.  Thiamine needs the other B vitamins to make enzymes and ATP, so you will need to take them.  Taking them in individual supplements is fine.  I've done the same.  Just remember you need all eight.   Let me know how it's going for you!

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.
