Hey, any good celiac disease Doctors in the Orlando, Fl area????

We also have a Dr. that we've been going to for years with all the health problems that my husband has had. He's been diagnose with IBS, Reflux Desease and all sorts of things. A friend of ours is the one that clued us in on celiac disease as possible problem. My husband has been gluten-free for 4months now without the Docotor's help. He's also been off Priolosec for about 2 months. No wander the Insurance Companies or Doctor's doesn't recognize celiac disease, because once you do the lifestyle change diet, then you stay healthy, then drug companies and Doctor's don't make there money on you, when you have to keep coming back over and over again for tests and drugs. It's a round robin that keeps the drug companies rich.

Now the Life Insurance should recognize celiac disease, because when you are on a gluten-free diet, then you have a better chance of staying healthy and less chance of something happening to you with other related problems. In the long run, I would think it would save them money. At least that's my thought.

My best to you and your husband.

Thanks.

I live in Cocoa Beach and am in the process of finding a GI too, so I can't help you there. I am seeing a new one locally on Monday and am in the process of being referred to Shands in Gainesville, FL.

But here is the website for our support group. We have an excellent leader and all around group.

I'm sure he will know of a support group in Orlando who could tell you which doctor to see. If not, come over to our group. We meet February 11th at 1pm ... And we are having a pot luck dinner / gluten-free beer tasting party ...

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
