Hi guys,

I just moved to San Antonio a few months ago and I'm newly diagnosed. The doctor who diagnosed me didn't want to do a biopsy or tell me anything about the disease so I went to a gastroenterologist instead. But now that I have all of the diagnosis stuff out of the way I am really just looking for a good doctor who has some knowledge about the disease and will actually spend some time talking to me and listening to what is wrong. All my life I've had doctors who just run in and out of the room and that's why I was told my stomach problems were stress for 6 years. So if anyone has suggestions please let me know!

Thanks!

I live in San Antonio and highly recommend Dr. Franz Zurita at 210 615-8308. He is also the medical advisor for the Alamo Celiac support group in San Antonio. Check the website at www.alamoceliac.org to find out about membership information and other local resources. For places you can eat, click on Defensive Dining page and scroll down past Austin to San Antonio.

You will find San Antonio to be a very celiac friendly place to live.

      Basically I don't eat lots of protein from so I bought protein powder I Don't know how much but I just make 2 scoops of it and mix it with dates and milk .and I just calculated the things I eat in the day and I am surprised that I get less than 1000 calories 😬.

      How many grams of protein per day would you say you are getting and how many calories per day? I did some research on causes for low creatin and low urea.

      Oh, lovely, another knitter!  What are your favorite things to knit?  I love knitting lace.  Lace doileys and shawls.  And socks, not necessarily lacy though. Low Vitamin D has an impact on the thyroid.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Vitamin D acts as a hormone and influences other hormones if the Vitamin D level is at eighty nmol/l or above.   I had a lot of hormone problems when my Vitamin D was in single digits prior to diagnosis of celiac disease.  Vitamin D is needed to keep bones strong and helps regulate the immune system, lowering inflammation.   I used high dose Vitamin D 3 to correct my deficiency quickly.  It's very safe and recommended by doctors.  Take Vitamin D 3, not the D 2 form prescribed frequently.  D2 is not utilized as well as D 3.  Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D in the body.   Interesting Reading: Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation Can Correct Hypovitaminosis D Prior to Total Knee Arthroplasty https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34737019/ The short-term effect of high dose vitamin D3 supplementation in improving hypovitaminosis in patients with type 2 diabetes - A randomized clinical trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35470105/ The role of vitamin D in menopausal women’s health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10291614/#:~:text=Vitamin D (VD) is known,menopause are also increasingly prominent.

      Yes my main goal is to  eat a guarantee  gluten free food but unfortunately I am in A very difficult situation I try to never eat gluten even if I am gonna stay hungry.i am living in the UAE with my aunt and her kids , husband and my grandma and uncle big in a small apartment,my mom is in Sudan due to her work so we can afford education here . I am now studying hard so I can get a scholarship somewhere else ,I can't work until I am 18 and basically I have no other income for me as I am still not 18 , so my mom send me an allowance every month and i buy gluten-free protein powders,nuts , dates and things i can hide and eat when I am hungry .I recently got an iron infusion and my blood tests where very bad low urea low creatine and many other deficiencies.my main priority is to stay gluten free for 3 months and then start taking vitamins,( I take oral iron every other day because the IV made my iron in the normal range but not enough I still feel dizziness and fatigue.I just want people to recommend for me things I can eat or vitamins that are easily absorbed when I need them quickly .
