Ashley -

Hey! You responded to my other e-mail about looking for a doctor to treat my Celiac. I wanted to let you know I contacted Ernest about the support group in Boone and he said none was ever set up. I haven't called the lady for Winston yet, I'm going to do that today. Do you mind if I ask your age? I was told that Dr. Ivor Hill at Bowman Gray in Winston is a pediatric gastroenterologist who is knowledgable in Celiac. You can call 336-716-3009 for him. If you are too old for a pediatric GI (I don't know what age he treats up to), you could maybe ask for a referral. I am seeing Dr. John Sweeney with Wake Forest Baptist Digestive Health Services. He does not seem to specialize in Celiac, but he is a GI. I, myself, am looking for a regular PCP who is knowledgeable with Celiac. Good luck and let me know what you find out. Perhaps we can both get in with the Winston support group! Talk to you later

Here are 2 contact names and numbers:

Hi Melissa - I'm in Durham also. As far as I know, the Triangle group is fairly inactive and has only met once or twice in the past year. I can give you the email address I used to get on the mailing list, although you probably already have that.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
