that sounds like a good idea. Please keep us informed. It also will help that you have worked with this Dr before and have a trust bond. It always things easier. Good luck.

your current son's doc has a screw loose. probably more than one. i have had this happen myself, when i've questioned a doc about lab results....they tend to try and back themselves up, even if they know they're wrong. i had a lab done, with an age-sensitive range. the test came back, and i was "normal." upon reading closer, i saw they had used a range for someone born in 1932, not my age. when i called the endo about this and pointed that with my correct range for my age, i was actually well below normal. he said, and i quote, "well, it's not that bad." he HAD to support his original position, right or wrong. needless to say i never went to that endo again.

YES, to going to the new doc and as soon as possible. trends in labs are an important thing, and you are right on target with staying on top of this all. good for you in challenging the doc you have now.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have...

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Can Celiac flares affect my eyes?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid...

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.
