I am so disgusted with the so-called medical help I've had the last few years. I'm looking for a new doctor who has a clue. thanks

I know, it's a problem. We've been helped by Dr. Lyon, in the Luverne, MN, clinic. It's a Sanford system clinic. Dr. Lyon has family members with celiac. Our visits to him were very helpful,both for children and adults in the family. We also saw a nutritionist at this clinic upon initial diagnosis. There are two local support groups, one in Sioux Falls, and one in Luverne. Have you met up with either of them? If you need more information, let me know! Good luck.

I'm afraid so..... I've been lurking for quite a while! I pick up lots of good ideas, and don't usually feel I have much to add except sympathy!

Hello,

I currently live in Brookings, SD and have been searching for a doctor to test to see if I have a gluten sensitivity. (I am fairly certain that I do, but I would just like to confirm). Have you found a good doctor in the Sioux Falls area?

I am not sure the original posters are still around, but any medical doctor can run the celiac panel:

 
-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA and (tTG) IgG
-Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) IgA and (DGP) IgG
-EMA IgA 
-total serum IgA and IgG (control test)
-AGA IGA and AGA IgG - older and less reliable tests largely replace by the DGP tests
 
-endoscopic biopsy - make sure at least 6 samples are taken
 
VERY IMPORTANT:  Keep eating gluten daily until ALL testing is complete or the tests can be inaccurate.

Welcome to the forum and let us know how it goes!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
