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?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
