ok thats it ive had enough, ive read to many accounts of shody patient care and a sheer inability to look at the facts. <_<

I was lucky enough to get a good peadi GI. who knows his stuff and didnt just go 'oh we'll monitor you'

But it infuriates me to see that others of you have been less fortunate. i mean how hard can it be to listen to what we have to say. If my doctor can diagnose me with no symptoms except anemia then others should be able to get it right when presented with a patient with all the symptoms.

And then when they do run the bloodtests they run the wrong ones or not enough of them, and according to them being gluten free doesnt effect the results.. i want to know how they managed to qualify without the basic knowladge that removing the cause of the reaction stops the damage. :blink:

grr i could go on all night :angry:

I second your rant!

It seems like far too many doctors quit learning when they left med school, are totally burned out, and just want to get through the day by getting the patient out of the office in the allotted 15-20 minute time frame so the day is that much closer to being over.

Are they going into medicine for all the wrong reasons or what? It just seems like patient care and wellness isn't a goal, especially when it involves a bit of detective work.

Adding my "amen".

And after the patient finally manages to get dx'd, after years or decades of agony....dufus doctors, don't just hand them a gluten free diet sheet, kick them out the door and then fail to follow up when the patient continues to suffer long term complications as a result of their delayed diagnosis. Understand that years of celiac disease can take a toll on the human body, and some things (autonomic and peripheral nerve damage, pancreas damage etc. etc) may not reverse and need further treatment.

When I started having GI problems, my first instinct was not to go to my doctor. I tried to figure it out on my own. So then at one of my annual check-ups I told him I thought I had a problem w/wheat. He said, "It's probably gluten". He didn't give me any advice. Didn't order any tests. I didn't know enough to think there were any questions to ask. Seemed easy enough to me. This is just another food allergy. All I have to do is look for gluten on the labels :P. When I FINALLY figured it out and had gradually eliminated gluten from my diet, I wasn't :o about to go back for tests. I was not going back on gluten for that. When my DD started to have her own issues she went to him and said her mom thinks she has celiac and she[my DD] wanted to be tested. He got bent out of shape saying her mother can't dx herself and he wouldn't test her unless her mom did first. :o:angry::wacko:

Let me clarify something I just said. When the dr said it might be gluten, I started looking for the WORD "gluten" on labels. :lol: I thought that's all I had to do!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
