Not exactly NYC, but Fort Lee NJ, close enough. I saw Dr Meininger. He was wonderful. Spent over an hour with me. Explained every question that I had and didn't make me feel like I was taking up too much of his time. My last dr couldn't get out of the room fast enough. I felt extremely comfortable with him and he didn't leave me with unanswered questions. He gave me suggestions and advice. One of the best drs I've ever seen.

If you want more info, let me know....

An hour? Yeah, right! Next.

What do you mean by "an hour? yeah right next"

The specialist I was seeing I was lucky if he spent 2 minutes with me and didn't answer any ?s I had at all. I have elevated pancreatic levels as well and I'm concerned that there might be somthing else going on with me besides celiac. So I was extremely happy that this guy took the time with me to go over all of the concerns that I had.

I was kidding you. It was my disbelief that any doctor would spend an hour w/ you, me or anybody else.

Pancreatic enzyme deficiency in itself can be a side effect of celiac, without any secondary cause for the pancreatic enzyme deficiency. It is pretty easy to treat though; just take pills with each meal. In my experience most doctors won't test for it unless you ask first, which is really really stupid. Good luck with it.

LOL!! Exactly why I thought he was a good dr!!!

Thanks for the info on the pancreatic stuff. I'm hoping that is all that it is and nothing more. The new dr did suggest that that could be what it is....Thanks again

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
