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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
