I Have A Doc Rec. In Sc

An internest in Travelers Rest, SC named Dr. Diehl has Celiac Disease and knows how to treat it. They have a health care practice a little different from what you are used to. www.paradocshealth.com - Here is their deal:

- They will not stop trying to find out what is wrong till you are satisfied

- Before they even see you, you need to fill out a long questionnaire that defines what's wrong and what your goals are as far as making it right, and what you've been tested for before. You can also send in your medical records. She will review all of this at no charge to decide if she can help. If she can, she will call you to set up an appt.

- The first appt. is 2 hours long, and hopefully you will get most of the detective work done in that time.

- She does not do the insurance thing, so she is not on anyone's plan. That means you must pay her up front. She will, however, check into your insurance and use codes that they will cover the highest percentage of.

This woman helped my mom - my mom struggled with what she thought was type 2 diabtes for over 20 years. When her sugars stayed high and she gained weight, her doctors assumed she wasn't eating right even though she was eating like an angel, trying desparately to feel better. They never ran more tests, just kept checking sugar. Dr. Diehl finally decided to check how much insulin was in her body. Almost none! That is not type 2, that is type 1! Her body was attacking her pancreas with each pregnancy and sickness. They mistook it for gestational diabetes and type 2 for all that time. She could have gotten really really bad. Thankfully she is on insulin now.

These doctors actually have the name Celiac disease on their Web site. I already know I have it, but I am going to them to find out if I am still battling the symptoms of it or if I have something else going on. She is not afraid to investigate autoimmune disorders. It seems like a lot of other doctors are because they are very ambiguous and they don't feel like they can help.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50. US 2024 - Increased Risk of Herpes Zoster Infection in Patients with Celiac Disease 50 Years Old and Older Sweden 2018 - Increased risk of herpes zoster in patients with coeliac disease - nationwide cohort study

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
