I´ll have my first GI appointment next week since I´ve diagnostic with gluten intolerance almost one month ago. I´ve already start the diet and feel better but I´d like to see a doctor anyways. I wonder if anyone knows this medical center or Dr. Dooreck.

Thanks a lot.

Hi vanesonica,

I'm in Palm Beach county, and haven't heard of the center, but I'm pretty new to this stuff.

My husband wanted me to see a doctor, to ease his mind that it wasn't something else (like cancer). So I talked to the 2 support group leaders in my area (2 different support groups) to see if they knew of anyone good. I had already done the dietary challenge, had a negative blood test, and knew I would never willingly eat gluten again. One of the support group leaders I talked to knew of a doctor in the area that accepted the Enterolab results. So I got tested with Enterolab (my results are in my signature) and went to see Dr Daniel McGuire in Boynton Beach. He took my history, read my labs, and diagnosed me on the spot. He didn't see the need for a biopsy, and neither did I. I personally recommend him.

I'm glad you are having good results with the gluten free diet!

Thanks for the info. I found this center in the web that´s why I was asking. Anyways, I went to see the doctor and he told me that I had to have an endoscopy....so.... I went again yesterday and they made the endoscopy. I have to say that everyone there was really nice and they also even called later to see how I was. I´ll have my appointment on november 1st and I´ll find out what´s going on with me. I hope this info can help someone looking for a GI in my area.

Greetings.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
