I am DESPERATE!!!

I have been gluten-free for almost 3 yrs now annd am still having severe symptoms regularly...I think I am allergic to other things but the quest to get an Allergix IGg blood test has been more than difficult!!!!

I have a general doctor who seems to know nothing about what I am going through and seems to think I am just ingesting gluten still!! HELLO?? I have been doing this for 3 yrs!! I can read ingredients in my sleep!!! anyways.......she wants so send me to ANOTHER GI doc (her last referral sent me to a GI who told me I needed Metamucill 3x daily for the rest of my life....no joke!!! IDIOT!) Bottom line is I dont think I need another GI doctor...I just need someone like and allergy specialist, celiac specialist, nutritionist or actually just someone who can call the testing center and ask them to give me the simple blood test!!!!

argggg...sorry to vent....I've been dealing with this for about 4 days now and no one seems to understand.

If you have any suggestions PLEASE let me know.

Thanks,

Staci

Your best bet is to find a decent Naturopathic doctor. Most of them are well versed in Celiac and Food intolerances. What are your symptoms? Have you looked into candida and leaky gut. I have been gluten free for a year and i still feel awful. I recently got with an ND and she has me on a diet very similat to the Specific Carbohydrate diet. Google SCD Diet and look into starting one. It is a very simple diet that gived your body a chance to heal properly. My diet for 3 months is just seafood,chicken,beef,and vegetables. I can only eat chicken and beef once a week. She has me on L-Glutamine supplements and wants me to boost my omega 3's by eating fish and taking some supps. Fish is much easier to digest and it helps give your gut some of a break. Your gut is constantly working day in and day out. Its like if you have a scab and you keep picking at it, it will keep scabbing up. You need to be gentle and let your gut relax from its work by giving it easy work. Feel free to PM me if you want me to elaborate on anything. Good Luck

Thanks,

Staci

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      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

      By trents · Posted

      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. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
