I would definately call Walgreen's and let them know the $%^ pharmacist isn't willing to help customers. To let them know that poison control doesn't have the answers you need. Do they want your business or not?

I agree, complain to Walgreens about that guy. My local Walgreen's has always been very helpful.

I agree... go above that idiot pharmacist's head... call Walgreen's corporate and YELL!!!! Well, not really, but raise a stink... let them know in no uncertain terms that you as a FORMER customer are extremely unhappy with the way your needs were IGNORED by their very lazy pharmacy employee. Also, call that pharmacy back and even if you don't talk to the same guy, let them know that the advice of calling poison control is not only unsatisfactory in a customer service kind of way, but also dangerous and irresponsible. As pharmacists they have an obligation to do the best job they can.

I had great luck with a Walgreen's pharmacist when I was trying to find the ingredients of one of my prescriptions... He was EXTREMELY helpful and at least TRIED, so they are out there. This particular employee needs a wake up call.

That is unbelievable! I echo everyone else when I say call walgreens and complain about that idiot! That is his job to help you with questions like that (not poisen control's job....I can believe that guy didn't speak English! He would be a big help in an emergancy!). It's not like that pharmasist is getting paid McDonald's wages either! That guy is making good money to be knowlegable and help you with anything drug related. What a jerk! My blood is boiling now! :lol:

Wow! That's horrible. I was just watching 60 minutes the other night and they showed how Walgreen's was costing 4-5x more for prescriptions than other sources. You'd think you'd get some sort of good service for that $$'s.

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By JettaGirl · Posted

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
