    Hmm, if his H+H are that high, they may not be interested in doing a biopsy (an invasive,potentially painful procedure) stomach acid would be tested by "dropping" an NG tube for a specimen....probably are other ways. Do you make sure to NOT give the iron within 2 hours of any calcium rich food/supplement? perhaps including Vitamin C with the iron would...

    Have they done a bone marrow biopsy? The RDW # being up means there is greater variance in Red Cell Width, then is considered normal. This commonly occurs d/t bleeding; if there is no bleeding, then I would wonder about the production end of things.. How anemic is he? Also, has his stomach acid been measured? perhaps it isn't sufficient?

    What is his MCV? That is part of a CBC, ie, Complete Blood Count. if it is high, would suggest a B 12 def. Is this kiddo on a strictly whole foods diet? If not, that would be my next thought. No soy for sure!

    each lab has its own scale....obviously you are + on that scale!
  5. frieze
    Yes, that would be too long guten free, get them done now. The Bs referred to would be B vitamins...

    keterolac is no kinder to the gut, even though it is injected. I would suggest finding a good therapist, not because I think you are "crazy", but you need to learn that YOU are worth protecting and the he.. with the rest of the world. sort of.

    this may be the "algorythm" for that practice, however, it means nothing without the total IgA.

    since the doc said no celiac, what the "heck" did he say caused the blunting?????

    sometimes it depends on the strength. You can't get folic acid stronger than 800 mcg per tab OTC. Potassium not more than 99 mg per tab. Higher can be obtained thru script.

    ARCHIVED Dealing With Bad Doctors

    frieze replied to whitepine's topic in Doctors

    can't help you with the doctor thing, but i have to wonder if you may have a mild case of Raynaud's? Which would mean you shouldn't use hormonal birth control....good luck.
  11. frieze
    I am betting that portion control is your biggest issue, invest in a good scale.
  12. frieze
    LOL. Maybe you could "recruit" him as a celiac advocate?
  13. frieze
    Ok, positive is positive....as they say....also, I don't see a total IgA on this list. Just because one is positive doesnt mean that is "normal". If your total IgA is low, even just very low normal, that may enlighten the other results. Are you scheduled for a 'scope?
  14. frieze
    mucho better!
  15. frieze
    Lol, sounds like a politician in the making.....but really, good on him!

    they do make RICE pasta!....good luck

    I would have been tempted to report her to the AMA, for the last comment. True, it would not mean much in and of itself, but as part of a paper trail, it couldn't hurt.
  20. frieze
    this is very poor practice, a GOOD psych will tell you to r/o all potential physical/chemical issues first!
  21. frieze
    Your doc appears to be more current in his knowledge than many! and don't be surprised if YOUR sx improve gluten free as well.

    .....follow the money......

    The upper limit on TSH is really about 3....per the endocrinology congress from about 6-8 years ago!!!!!! I am not aware of the time needed between med adjustments, so can't help you there.... Just went hunting....lol. Per the european endo journal, 4 weeks is the accepted interval, down from 8 apparently.
  24. frieze
    Does your husband take a Vitamin D supplement? You do need the total. D2 and D3
  25. frieze
    Yes it could. B12 def. can be deadly. get tested, then supplement with methylcobolamin, on an empty stomach, the under the tongue sort adds a tiny edge, unfortunately they are compounded to be pleasing to the taste buds, so watch out for the additives.
