Mayo Clinic - Jacksonville

My dr. wants me to go to the mayo clinic, and I see that there is one in Jacksonville, FL. Since I live in Atlanta, I would prefer to go there, but was wondering if anyone had any insight into it (is it as good as the original?). I have confirmed celiac dx, hashimotos, raynauds, insulin resistance, and PCOS, but dr. thinks I have something else endocrynology wise going on since all my symptoms are still present after almost 2 years gluten-free (and my celiac blood tests are now normal, so I know I'm gluten free).

Anyone? I don't need a celiac specialist - probably an endocrynologist. I just really don't want to go to MN!

I don't have a recommendation, but wanted to let you know that the waiting list for Mayo in MN is very long. I've been on it for about 3 months already and they told me today it would be another 6.

Thanks for the info. I talked to my dr. and when I mentioned the mayo in FL, he said "no way". He said he can get me into the MN one, but I'm not ready to bite that bullet yet (I have a new baby and a 3 year old, and live in the south, so it will be a difficult task to go up there!). I'm still thinking about it....

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
