Looking For A Celiac Dr. In Orlando, Fl Area

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.

Hello,

I too, live in Orlando and have been avoiding going to any support groups or doctors. Kind of just muddling through on my own.

Just wanted to check with you if you have a found a good Dr. as of yet?

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 ...

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
