Most of the doctors I've seen just refer me to a website, they don't know much, do you know of anyone?

Great news!

With the hurricane so did changes... I found a doctor that treats celiac disease, very nice office staff.

DaddyO and I, both have an appointment with him this coming week. The girls in the office have called me back three times. I told her I can refer 100 Celiac's from a local group. Open Original Shared Link The group requires a membership fee. I have a problem with that and there policy, when someone doesn't have the ability to pay. My thoughts on a support group is to HELP others. So I made them that web site, but because I can't afford the groups fees I'm not a paid member. You might have better luck...

Anyway back to the GOOD DOC -- The office staff told me they were located in Ft Lauderdale, but hurricane Wilma blew the roof off their building and they scrabled to move and, moved to Boca. He has a basic web site Open Original Shared Linkhe's from NY and is good, I'm told. I will see for myself next week. His name is Dr Richard Saltz, 801 Meadows Rd. Boca Raton his number is 561.362.9360. You can say the headhead Ms Sillyak from Boca send you from the message boards, they will know who you mean.

But here are a few more NOT to TRY.

NO GO -

Dr Robert Mellman 561-395-5204

The girl that answered the phone didn't have a clue about celiac disease. Carol the assistant I left a message for a few weeks ago, she NEVER returned my call. He is the brother of a Indocronogist (sp) Mellmen in Boynton beach

NO GO -

GASTRO ASSO PA in Boca Raton 9960 Central Pk N Suite 302 488-2700. Again I left a messsage to speak to someone to set up and appointment RE: celiac disease. It been over a week and Debbie his assistant NEVER CALLED BACK!

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
