Wonderful Family Doctor Experience

[zarfkitty]

I just love, love, love my family doctor. I saw her this morning and made her a packet of my GI history, symptoms, tests and treatments. Also my non-GI symptoms and treatments.

I gave several reasons for not wanting the traditional celiac workup, which she accepted as solid.

Then I explained my enterolab results and why I think Dr. Fine is onto something. I was sure to keep my statements about Dr. Fine's work very objective, that the results were a good piece of information, not an accepted medical test.

I gave her documentation of my gluten-free diet and the positive response.

She told me she supported me 100%, she marked my chart gluten-intolerant, and she even asked me for Dr. Fine's website so that she could learn more about Enterolab. She said she believes in a wide spectrum of gluten sensitivity and that stool testing would be a very good tool to have when mainstream testing isn't enough.

At that point I literally jumped off the table and hugged her. She said I "enlightened her" today and that I was an easy patient because I did all her work for her.

Wheeeeeeeeeee! :D

p.s. I've got the packet saved on my computer. Email me if you'd like to use it as a template for discussing enterolab results with your doc.

Will you tell me your doctor's name? I am also in Austin and might consider switching doctors. I like my doctor but I don't think she believes in my gluten intolerance.

Good for you, I just went to my family doctor for my posible DH on friday, he I guess believes me he had all my results from my GI doc and when I told him that I have been having D along with the DH he said ok welll maybe there is a connection here and did not say ok ya you are a Celiac or anything just said if the diet helps well then continue on with the diet. Well ok thats fine but he never told me if it could be DH or not, but I did get a blood work up for the physical, will any blood work be abnormal if in the middle of a possible DH outbreak and D
