Celiac And Food Intolerance Gi Doc - Cleveland Ohio

Hi,

I have positive anti-gliadin IgA, all other blood neg, biopsy neg, but reponse to gluten-free and DF diet has been remarkable! Thus I believe I have Celiac, or at least gluten intolerance. I've also isolated the fact that I have Diary intolerance as well. None of this is allergy related, I've been tested for allergies and I have none.

I am looking for a GI doc, or other doc, in the area of Cleveland OH that is willing to order food intolerance, and Enterolab testing for me. My current doctor doesn't understand Celiac all that much, and doesn't get food intolerance either. (He told me yesterday that even though I cannot tolerate milk products that things like chedder cheese, and yogurt should be tolerable). As a result, he won't order any of the tests that are available. Obviously I can order all the tests I want, however my insurace won't cover a penny of it unless a doctor has ordered the test. Hench my search!!

If anyone knows of a good doc that is willing to order Enterolab, and food intolerance testing in the Cleveland Ohio Area, or even better at the Cleveland Clinic, Metro Health center, or University Hospitals Health System it would me much appreciated!!!!!

Regards,

Michael J. MacCartney

Michael,

Welcome to the board, fellow-Clevelander!

I have a Dr. Appt. today w/ the Cleveland Clininc Gastro-Specialist who diagnosed me so I will ask her what her thoughts are. If I get any kind of positive response I'll let you know.

Otherwise, best of luck and GO TRIBE!

      In 70-year-olds, DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) levels are significantly lower than in young adults, typically around 20% of youthful levels, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) | (.gov). This decline is a natural part of aging, with DHEA production decreasing from its peak in the third decade of life. While some studies suggest potential benefits of DHEA replacement in older adults, particularly in women, results are not consistently positive across all studies.

      Welcome @bold-95.   That's a tough situation.   Understanding DHEA Deficiency in Menopausal Women A major cause of hypothyroid is iodine deficiency.  In the 60's bread had 90 mcg, milk 100 mcg per cup and we used iodized table salt.  A sandwich and glass of milk supplied 300 mcg,  Now in the US bread does not use iodine as dough condition, milk has a bad name and table salt is avoided.  Net reduction from 1970 to 1984 of 50% of iodine intake.   Urinary iodine levels (mg/dL) in the United States, 6-74 years of age NHANES I, 1971-74 Median 32.00 2NHANES III, 1988-91 Median 14.5 NHANES 2000 Median 16.1 There has been a trend for increased prescribing of levothyroxine (LT4) in the United States.  LT4 was the tenth and seventh most commonly prescribed drug based on the number of prescriptions in 2005 and 2006, respectively. From 2008 to 2011 the number of LT4 prescriptions rose from 99 million to 105 million, with LT4 being the second most prescribed medication.1 From 2012 to 2016 the number of annual LT4 prescriptions increased steadily from 112 million to 123 million, with LT4 being the most prescribed medication.2,3 During 2017 and 2018 LT4 was the third most prescribed medication, with 98 million Levothyroxine prescriptions trends may indicate a downtrend in prescribing. DHEA and hypothyroidism are linked, with some evidence suggesting that low DHEA levels may be associated with hypothyroidism.
