I figured since I live iN NY I might as well go to Columbia where they have the celiac special center. I can't get an appt. with Dr. Green but was able to get one with Dr. Lee. Anyone have any experiences with her?

Hi!

I was trying to make an apt. like crazy with that doctor, but they were never returning my calls! HOw did you do it?

But I ended up going to see Dr. Green because I was really sick one week and my fiance's boss knew someone who know someone, etc. to get me into see him the next morning! (and even though Dr. Green doesn't take my insurance, I actually got a reimburssment from my insurance company this week for the WHOLE amount! -kind of crazy! and good! )

Anyway, since she is a collegue of Dr. Green's, I'm sure she must be good and know what she is talking about. It seems like the doctors in his little group really want to take care of their patients, so I'm sure this doctor will be great!

May I ask why you are switching doctors? And are you still having some problems on the diet as well?

It basically took 2 weeks of me calling repeatedly to finally find out if Dr. Lee takes my insurance (because Dr. Green doesn't). But once I found out that she does I was able to make an appt. pretty easy.

I'm actually not really having to many problems on the diet, but I know you're supposed to go for blood work after 6 months of being on the diet. I also need to get the bone density test done - and I figured since they specialize in celiac they would be the best place to get the bone density test done for this.

I'm not happy with the GI that did my endoscopy. He seems to know what he is doing and is pretty thorough, but he is also money hungry. He seems to want to turn me into his guinea pig for him and all his colleagues to make a few extra bucks on a bunch more tests that just aren't necessary right now. I don't want to get into the whole thing but I just don't want to continue with him. So I figure if I'm gonna switch I might as well switch to the best.

Hi, I had an appointment with her last week. I can't say enough good things about her. She listen and explained everything to me. She ordered blood tests that would show what vitamins I was low in. I just got off the phone with her. She told me that I was low in Vitamin A, Vitamin D and Folic Acid. She asked me when I was going to meet with Ann Lee, so she could have the information waiting for me. I just wished I would have gone to her sooner.

When is your appointment with her? I will be going tomorrow to meet with Ann Lee. You can e-mail me at

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
