Wow. It's been a long time since I have been here. You all helped so much when I was battling my daughters father in court when he tried to say she had a failure to thrive. Things went well. I am recently remarried and living in Arlington Texas with my little girl. We have been here for over three years now and I have never found a doctor for her. With the gluten free diet she has been healthy except for the times when, as a kid will, she got glutened.

She has become sensitive to more foods though. Originally the "free" diet was gluten, soy, egg and rice. Now she can not have rice or corn either. She looks anemic and is often complaining of a tummy ache. I have been thinking of taking her back to the doctor in Oklahoma that we finally found who understands food sensitivities but They are no longer taking self pay patients. I need to find a doctor, preferably near here, that understands about food sensitivities. Does anyone know of such a creature?

One problem I am running into with doctors as well is the fact that she has never and never will be immunized.

Today I took her to a dentist. She has some cavaties and I want them taken care of. When I left his office I felt like crying. Felt as though I had been verbal beaten up. His idiotic "30 years of experience" put him into the catagory of someone who thinks he knows everything and that I, who have battled this thing for 6 years side by side with my daughter am certified in knowing nothing. I wouldn't use him now if he were the last dentist on earth but I am still stuck with not knowing where to turn.

We seem to have fallen into an every widening crack because we don't have insurance and because I have enough knowledge to seem "dangerous" to the average doctor.

I can't spend a fortune doctor hopping until I find a good fit. I really hope someone can shed some light on us.......down here....... in this crevice..........anybody?!

Well dr. Bruce is a pediatrician in Arlington off Davis and fielder

Dr. Mills is a GI in Bedford off of 121 I have no idea if he treats children

I'm wondering if your child goes to school and how they treat food and allergies? Or is she home schooled?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
