Great Experience At Troy Beaumont Lab

I just wanted to take a moment to give credit where it is due. Our family has had two wonderful lab experiences in a row with "Leo" at the Troy Beaumont Hospital lab in Troy, Michigan (Dequindre and M-59). He drew blood for both my husband and I a while back for our celiac panels and he was so gentle I didn't even feel it. My daughter (age 9) was due for her celiac re-test and nutritional evals. today so we went back to see Leo, and he was so good with her. He used a private room, put on Scooby-Doo, talked her through the poke and made her feel very safe and comfortable. Most importantly, he didn't hurt her with the needle. His bedside manner was top-notch.

If you ever read this, Leo...thank you!

Is it for yourself or a child? I can only offer a recommendation for a ped. GI. Look under this thread called "recommend a doctor in your state":

https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=25206

Maybe someone can refer you to an adult GI from there. If not, post a seperate thread and ask for one directly. Good luck! If you need help understanding your tests, please do post. There are many knowledgable folks on this forum.

PS--check out the Tri-county Celiac Support Group. I believe they now have a Macomb based meeting.

      Thank you ! Good to know I am not alone. I am currently on metformin and rybelsus for my diabetes. The last week or so my sugar has been so uncontrolled, more so than before. I am very frustrated and discouraged by all this. I have had days of 317 to a low of 64. I feel terrible. I am getting back on the gluten free wagon, just taking some time, and not seeing results and relief as fast as I had hoped. My stomach is just a mess, sometimes worse than others

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).
