My god was I ever right that the college needs help :angry:

my 1 teacher today...Law teacher..he REALLY just pushed my calmness over the edge..

He wouldnt help me AT ALL

I told him I'll be missin class on Nov 2nd for that specialist appointment (and SHOWED him the letter) and he seriously got mad at me cuz of that AND told me to change it even tho I said I've been waitin 9 months for it!!! Its just WRONG. :angry::angry:<_< And I nearly failed that midterm--only because again, he dont tell me what important stuff i've missed when i'm in the bathroom he just says "read the book" GAH

I was even told by the principal or whatever u call him to tell my teachers to make sure they will be informin me of what i'll miss/what I miss while in the washroom...clearly thats not goin to happen!!

you are right, your school needs help... I would think that they would HAVE to accomodate you especially with a Dr.s note, but it's been so long since I was in school I don't remember specifics.

Is there an advisor or student advocate or someone that you can speak with that can either go to bat for you, or tell you how to get their attention in the most effective way so that it doesn't affect your grade? You've worked so hard for your education, it's unfair that you spend too much time in the bathroom, but I don't know what to tell you. You probably feel like you are all alone in this, I'm just hoping you can find some person or group that can assist you so that you are not alone in trying to navigate hostile territory.

Go back to that principal and tell him what happened, both times.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
