Hi!

I just thought I would let you know I sent in my Enterolab bill to my insurance thinking they'd never pay as it was not requested by my doctor and, Yay!, they just sent me a check for close to the whole amount. Bill: $389, insurance: paid all but $39. I'm very happy about that and I hope it may encourage others to give Enterolab a try.

Lucky Duck! :rolleyes:

Mine wouldn't pay a red cent! :angry:

Nor would they pay for my ELISA test or even my saliva test which WAS ordered by a doctor!

Insurance is nothing but a racket! :ph34r:

Kathy Ann,

I'm sorry and I AGREE! It IS a racket- I've always had to fight with every private insurer I've ever had- Mutual of Omaha, Aetna, Blue Cross- to get a claim through. I guess maybe I finally have a fairly decent company through my school system. I'm so used to fighting with them, this just took me by surprise! My kids' dad and I spent four years with NO insurance because we just couldn't afford it (he's a lobsterman-middlemen make all the money, in case anyone is wondering) and we had two kids. I guess Enterolab is a gamble for this reason. There's so much work to do before healthcare is affordable in this country!

Thanks for writing,

lisa

Vincent,

Ironically, it's Anthem Blue Cross through my school department and I must say I have never had to fight with them. Of course, they do take about a jillion dollars out of my paycheck! But , as I age and with two teenagers, I guess it's worth it!

Because of serious illness, we are hostages of our insurance company. If we try to change to another better company, they would never insure us. That's another reason why I don't plan on seeking an official diagnosis of celiac if it can be avoided.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
