Appointment With Dr. Green Cancelled!

Just wondering if anyone who has been to the Celiac Center in NYC has had an easy time rescheduling an appointment with Dr. Green? I am supposed to see Dr. Green for the first time on Wed. and when I got home from work today there was a message on my answering machine that they have to reschedule! I am so upset about this- I've waited 3 months for this appointment. And I am starting a new job in two weeks so I won't be able to take any days off for three more months. I am just wondering how often this happens? I know doctor's schedules change (I am a nurse practitioner) but it is so frustrating after waiting so long for the appointment. I am keeping my fingers crossed that maybe they will be able to fit me in one day next week (I have a few days off before starting my new job). Well I just needed to vent my frustrations- I have been waiting for this appointment for so long! Thanks for listening.

Happens often with all sorts of Drs. How's about a positive spin: at least they aren't rescheduling an colonoscopy after you've already done the prep! :P (Almost happened to me...my GI doc cancelled all appointments only a couple of days before I had to start drinking that awful solution...had to wait another few months for the rescheduled time.)

I would, when you get your new appointment date, just explain to your new employers what happened, and if necessary, take documentation to explain the cancellation of the appointment. You are probably in a really good place being a nurse practitioner, that they are aware of rescheduling/conflicts and will work with you. Just as most employers will work with you if you have irrevocable plane tickets for a vacation when you take a new job, as long as you are up front with them, I would certainly believe you could work this out with your new employer. And if not, I don't think that's a place I would work for long.

It doesn't surprise me that he's hard to see. Peter Green is the most famous doctor specializing in the most common autoimmune disorder. He likely gets called away frequently for very difficult Celiac-related cases, in addition to his hectic schedule of lectures, teaching, appearances, etc. I didn't even try to see him because does not take my insurance - but I did see another Columbia Celiac Center doctor, Susie Lee, as well as the Center's resident celiac dietician. I also got a bone density test, Celiac serology blood tests with extensive info (IGG, IGA, TTG IGA, Iron Panel, Vit. B12, Hepatic Panel, TBC Panel, Metabolic, etc.), and an endoscope/biopsy exam done there. It was very worthwhile and I'm glad I went.

      Rectal pain

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this. I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead...

      Gluten free nuts

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat. I am going to keep checking. Thank...

Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?
