Sorry, I don't live there, but my dad lives in St. Pete ... I actually used to live there, too. It's a beautiful area.

Welcome to the board.

I live on the East Coast of Florida but I would recommend Dr. Perlman, I believe she is the doctor I go to at the Children's Hospital in Tampa. I forget the name but its right bast Tropicana Stadium where the Devil Rays play.

I'm in Tampa. I found a great doctor who practices traditional medicine and also deals with natural remedies. She really has helped me a lot. My bloodwork was negative but my dietary response is amazing. She never doubted me or made me feel like I was crazy.

Her name is Gael Wheeler 813-265-8555.

I saw several gi guys in town and didn't have much luck with them. Definitely don't go to Dr. Frank, he was terrible.

Please let me know if I can help you at all.

My dad owns a night club in Clearwater. I don't want to use the board as an advertisement, so I won't post the name ... they have a full kitchen and cook for me there. They are the kind of place that has bands during the week, and a DJ on the weekends (older crowd, they card carefully). They don't serve much food, but have a full kitchen, so make a great steak. If you want more info, PM me. It's always good to know where you can go safely for food!!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Before I could call them (after all my research), Costco Pharmacy called and told me they found a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.  Was told name is Amneal brand.  Said they called and company  confirmed is gluten free.  Only one I had found was Lannett so did more research and found:  “BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Nov. 12, 2018.  Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: AMRX) today announced that it has completed a transition agreement with Lannett Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Amneal will take over the distribution and marketing of Levothyroxine sodium tablets from Lannett beginning December 1, 2018 through March 23, 2019, ahead of when the Company's previously announced 10-year Levothyroxine distribution agreement with Jerome Stevens begins on March 23, 2019.” So looks like we’re good until at least 6/23/29.  Active ingredients are colloidal silicon dioxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, CORN STARTCH, acacia, sodium startch glycolate. Bottom line:  We can tell our pharmacists we need gluten-free, generic Amneal brand Levothyroxine.   AMEN.

      Given your severe symptoms it sounds like you would be much better off going 100% gluten-free!
