does anyone go to Dr. Green? I hear he is THE Dr. to go to. I was curious to know if anyone who does go to him, or any of the doctors at Columbia, use Empire for their insurance. With Dr. Green you pay and then get reimbursed. Has anyone used Empire with him?

I'm sure they do accept some insurances. Dr. Green was asked by a woman Sunday why he doesn't take medicare and he said he does work with medicare. Just call the office and ask what insurances they participate with or just ask if they take yours.

Dr. Peter H.R. Green is founder and director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. From Dr. Green's Book, CELIAC DISEASE - A Hidden Epidemic, "The Celac Disease Center at Columbia University is the only center in the United States that provides comprehensive medical care, including nutrician, for adults and pediatric patients with celiac disease. It's mission is to redefine the future of celiac disease and treatment through continuing advances in biomedical research, patient care, and physician and public education. The center is diagnosing and treating more than two thousand patients annually from around the world."

You do not have to see Dr. Green himself at the Celiac Disease Center - there are several other doctors who work there, who are easier to obtain an appointment with, as well as having more insurance options. This is what I did.

There's no magic bullet yet for Celiac, though - you have to be on the diet to recover.

Glutenase cannot be used by people with Celiac Disease to safely consume gluten, although it probably wouldn't hurt to take it.

I have celiac and I take glutenease EVERYTIME I eat out, as a precaution. I figure it can't hurt. So far I have not gotten sick. I take it as a precaution to cc issues. I realized recently they recommend taking it with one of the companies enzymes as well, so I will be picking up a bottle of that too.

Hello,

I was wondering what the situation would be if you went to the celiac disease center at columbia university with no insurance? I have none right now and was wondering if reimbursement would occur even with no insurance, if not, what occurs for a person with no insurance? Thank you.

Have you asked Columbia if any of the doctors at the Celiac Center take Oxford Liberty?

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
