I just thought I'd share how f*****g stupid internists are! Have a laugh at this.

During my second visit to the first idiot internist that I saw, she felt my stomach, wrote me a prescription for ammoxicillin, and said, "If this is what I think it is, it'll go away." HA! That's why I'm still sick. She also thought I had an ulcer and so did the other idiot internist. I'm supposed to see that moron in a month--I threw the free Aciphex bottles have gave me away as soon as my IgG results came back.

Gotta love it!!!

I just read the "leaving post" in tutorial forum section for this site and apologize if this post sounds a little vindictive and rude. :(

It's your opinion and sometimes doctors can be ignorant... and you should really try to go see a GI doc

I saw an internist who looked at me and told me it was IBS and I was just a nervous person. He did not even do any tests at all. I never went back.

I found one :D He's the one who got me tested for gliadin antibodies--which is why I'm here.

      Still unsure.....

      By badastronaut · Posted

      So after  a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with? 100 mg?

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and handled employment claims against some major USA companies, and I've seen it all--even by huge companies that contract with the government and should know better. I say keep your cards close to your vest, wear an N95 mask if you handle wheat flour, and quietly look for another job if you feel you can't continue there.  Oh, and when I say "enemy," I mean that unscrupulous managers may quickly become your enemy, even if the law is on your side, and they could find trivial reasons to give you the 3 quick warnings that may be necessary to fire you. Very few lawyers would take such a case on a contingency basis, so unless you have a stockpile of money, you'd have no recourse.

      @ohmichael doesn't have an official diagnosis of celiac disease yet. That would need to happen if he were to pursue a disability claim.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:

      Help needed

      This is so very interesting I love all this information, knowledge is so very important for us to help ourselves heal, I have been so wrapped up with my dogs nutrition after vets told me she needed a operation, which turns out I can help with this for her  myself also , I may have been missing the tap on the shoulder to say integration into your own health is needed here too , although I have been aware I must admit myself has been on the back burner at times , I also have a granddaughter with nut allergy I researched for that , this is now screaming at me to turn inward to myself also , and deal with my invisible struggles I also am carrying, thankyou for all the information keep it coming , my ears and eyes are fully open 🙏
