I was trying to get my 9 yr old a new doc. The NP at our Ds2 is great. Does a great job with all of our allergies etc. Ds1 needs a new doc. He probably has a wheat allergy. He's 4ft9 and weight 68 -70 lbs. He also has low muscle tone (i.e. getting occupational therapy). I wanted to get a well visit with the NP but can't because the records (which I have requested twice! :angry: ) from the previous dr (butter ppl) haven't sent them yet!!!

What are my rights? What do I need to do to get them? How long does it take? This time I WILL be picking them up in person!!!!

I feel like crying because, he complained for a week of stomach pain. Then it went away. (I think I was packing him sandwiches for lunch). He's not on a Gluten-free diet, although he eats a lot of Gluten-free foods. Lucky for him he loves rice!

Has anyone else had this problem with a doctor?

Hi, you didn't say what state you are in, but in Mass you need to go in person or mail it on their form to sign a release to have them either sent to the new doc or you can pick them up in person. This is something that they don't make a priority in offices. But on the other hand you should still be able to see the new person and if they need certain records ie: lab tests results etc. they can fax a form over to the pedi and get them. It is called continutity of care and it cannot be denied if another doc requests it. Good Luck.

When I went for second, third and fourth opinions for gallbladder surgery I needed copies of my medical records. In order to make an appointment for a second opinion they needed my medical records. I requested them to be sent and it took two weeks. That's when I requested a personal copy of my medical records and made copies. I picked them up rather than wait for the mail. I did have to sign a release.

In VA you have to fill out a form (mail/in person). I am going to fill it out in person and will request to pick it up in person- and make copies like you! They will see him for a sick visit but not a well visit. I don't understand!!!

Tomorrow morning I will be a woman on a mission.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Blood results

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
