Our Dr.s Are Great

I have had extremely good luck with Dr's. Our Endocronologist actually was the one who insisted on testing our son for celiac. He runs the test as a screen on all his diabetic patients. They are both auto-immune diseases, and when you have one, it is typical to have another. He got us right in for a biopsy after the positive blood work. The PEDS GI specialist was very kind and thurough too.

I just wanted to give a plug for good Dr.'s. They are out there. Both these Dr.s were foreign. Dr.Gupta is from India, and Dr. Zappatta is from South America somewhere. I don't know if that had something to do with it. More emphasis in their countries to celiac disease?

I have a mixed review for my docs. Some are great and very knowledgeable, some just needed educating, and some just don't want to be bothered with getting educated. Those in that last category didn't remain my doctors for very long!

I had one terribly incompetent doctor, two very good drs., and now I have all phenomenal doctors... :D

1st pediatrician -- terrible...kept dismissing my symptoms (from both celiac and malrotation) as being an attempt at getting attention or childhood allergies that I would outgrow.

2nd pediatrician -- thought he knew what it was, didn't really, but at least he realized he might not know, so he referred me to a GI. Retired so I needed a new pediatrician

1st GI -- diagnosed celiac, but didn't know what to do once I kept getting sick--didn't do anything for about 8 months...that's why he gets a mixed review. Great to diagnose, poor with treatment.

2nd GI -- Absolutely the best doctor I've ever had in any area. Great person, extremely knowledgeable about celiac and everything else. Persistent with testing and found malrotation!

3rd pediatrician -- Very good so far......

That's all for my lengthy review of doctors! :lol:

      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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
