I used the email. I emailed the actual copies of my kids labs ( they want the actual copies in case you re- type them wrong). I got a response within a day or two. However, the doctor that reads them was visiting his family in Italy so it was a few weeks until he got back. But they told me that.

ok, thanks, email will be the best way for me to communicate since my kids will be home from school tomorrow and it's hard to talk on the phone when they are home~ so one last question....do the docs read and go over the test results for free or is there a charge? and are they very helpful?

Give them a brief list of symptoms & your experience with your docs. The key word is brief! I got a very brief response, sort of a yes or no answer. But my answer was no Celiac so maybe they would give more if its a yes. There is no charge but they did ask me for a donation, which I did. Its not neccsary, however. With my diagnosis of Celiac, we have changed where we donate our money so we switched to them for some of our charity money.

Edit: that sounds like we are some kind of rich people. We just give a little to different places that mean something to us.

I called them, they returned my call in about 2 - 3 days. Most of the time it's an answering machine, but they do call back. I then emailed with the lady I talked to, she was very nice. The Dr did review the labs for me at the time.

I found them very helpful, can't say enough good things about them. :)

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thanks! I am currently trying B1 out on its own. I tried many brands of B-complex and they always make me feel nauseous and tired. I think I may have to try taking each B vitamin on its own.

      Are you supplementing any vitamins?  Recently added medications? the ones that helped me the most noticibly was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine, B6 speeds up gastric motility, gastric motility, which is the movement of food through the stomach, is primarily achieved through peristalsis. Moving food faster helps bloating. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline  brain fog, fat digestion.  Since the recommended reduction in red meat and eggs, experts estimate that only 10% of the population eats the minimum RDA., 500 mg.  Choline is a large percentage of bile.  Many Celiacs are first diagnosed as Gall Bladder surgery candidates.  It works for a while, fut the the symptoms come back. Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Low fat yogurt.  My favorite brand is Stonyfield.  Pasture fed means an omega 6:3 ratio of 1:1.  Comercial dairies feed grains and have omega 6:3 ratio  of 5:1.  Omega 3 is healing, omega 6 is inflammatory. No fat yogurts, including greek style has various gums added to replicate the fatty mouth feel, and these gums like guar gum can have several side effects, especially if low vitamin B6 causes poor gastric emptying. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation. The American diet is fortified.  Gluten free foods are not.

      Flour 1to1 Mixes never ending lol

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      This was one I tried w/o issues using gluten-free flour. It gets confusing the 121 cup for cup. Especially the price of it. But I love using the make your own mixes of gluten-free flours potato starch such as this to make it go further https://theloopywhisk.com/2021/09/23/homemade-gluten-free-flour-blend/ Heres a recipe stating 1:1 https://chefalina.com/gluten-free-anisette-toast-cookies/ I want to try these cookies which I miss since going gluten-free as well as the good Italian Holiday cookies I will be missing. I have found good sandwich bread at Whole Foods called 365 which is under $4 for a regular loaf you won't realize its gluten-free or the Promise bread brand. Making your own sandwich bread seems like a bunch that break apart etc. Eventually I will have to try one.
