I Am So Furious

I was told by a Dr 3 years ago that I was negative for the celiac genes and my celiac blood panel was negative therefore I couldn't be celiac. I have progressively gotten worse and worse and as some people on this site know I have had Intersusseption 4 times - its considered life threatening and it happened the last time I ate gluten after being gluten free for 6 weeks- I actually felt like I might die it was so bad.

Anyhow - I went to get my results because the Dr to see for Celiac stuff in this country said he could spare me 10 minutes to look at my results and see what I should do from there.

Anyhow - I found out that the tests were never done :o and for some reason the dr lied to me about it.

I just got my genes test back and have HLA DQ8 - after all this time and after all these years of trying to convince Drs that I'm not crazy that actually gluten makes me really really sick and being really dismissive and not entertaining the thought of it because my genes were negative.

From now on I will always demand a copy of any tests I have done.

Rant over!

I would lodge a complain to the medical licensing board for that doctor. Lying and causing you years of suffering is simply unacceptable.

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
