if you will review my posts on the parents board, it will give you a little background on my issues currently with my daughter.

if you look on a map, at the spot where TN, MS, and AL meet....that is where Savannah TN is located.

Not sure exactly how far away it is, but look up Dr. Harry K. Delcher in Atlanta GA. He is the doctor I see and is just amazing. He's an endocrinologist with Celiac himself. Also, if you go see him, theres a store not far from his office called Atlantis Natural Foods. They are supposedly the largest gluten free store in GA.

I second Dr. Delcher altough he might be a bit of a drive but so worth it. I can't say enough kind things about him.

I am so glad someone else on this board knows of him! Isn't he just a godsend of a doctor and so understanding?

Isn't he though? I would not be the person I am today had I not met him. I spent 10 years going to doctors who could never come up with anything and this man spent 10 minutes with me and said I know exactly what is wrong with you.

he did the exact same thing with me! I was 17 and could barely walk and had crippling migraines. He took my current symptom list, asked for my health history from the day i was born, and before my mom even hit age 2 of my history he interrupted and told us exactly what was wrong. plus he took the time to explain everything. the appointment was only supposed to be an hour but he took a full 2 hours to explain everything and answer our questions. I was sorry for the appoinment after me because we took so long but thank heaven for a doctor like him!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
