Did He Have A Clue?

I went to a dermatologist who has treated my husband for skin cancer and he is a very good doctor. I was seeing him for a small wart removal. I asked him questions about my recent sensitivities due to celiacs. He said the rash I had that went away when I stopped eating grits, the rash that appeared after one day of using a cream with wheat ingredients and the awful itching hands after using a mixed spice, had nothing to do with the celiacs. Totally unrelated....just new allergies. Am I nuts or did this guy not have a clue about celiac sensitivities?

He doesn't have a clue. Thankfully you didn't go to him with the active rash looking for a diagnosis. Unfortunately this is the case with too many derms.

Docs can be clueless, but shouldn't be. Mine ordered celiac blood test knowing I had been gluten free for a month. At the time, I didn't know any better, but she should have.

Thanks for the responses. I spent so many years and untold money looking for 1 doctor who could tell me why I had diarrhea for the last 30 years. I no longer think that all docs have all the answers. That dermatologist looked at me like I was kooky. "celiac is not the issue" he repeated more than once.

I have found only one dermatologist in my life who impressed me. Unfortunately she is in Petaluma, CA. Stuff my dermatologists at home ignored, she biopsied...several basal cell and one squamous cell carcinoma. Unfortunately, I think like anesthesiologists, it is a specialty for those who graduated bottom of their class.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      suggest gluten free food

      By olivia11 · Posted

      Thanks for asking  I’m mainly looking for gluten-free staples and snacks. Any recommendations for brands or go-to items would be appreciated.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
