    Hi Heather, I'm hoping to find out more info regarding your Dr. in Stafford. I live in Stafford and I'm looking for a new physician to help me.

    Hello Heather:

    I read your post on-line about finding a good doc. You mentioned having a good doc in Stafford, VA, where I live. Can you please share this physician's name with me?

    thanks,

    Hey CassP Thanks for your thoughts and help!! For me, my TSH is 1.15, and my Doc is know for treating subclinical thyroid issues, so I'm thinking that (I'm hoping that) he would've picked up on thyroid issues. Maybe the OP has an elevated TSH. My lightheadedness is seemingly random. I do have the "dizzy upon standing up" symptom, but also I could...

    Thank you very much for your help once again!! I may check out Tractor Supply (we have one near us)even after de-glutening my grandma's pan. I have a feeling we will need one gluten-free, and one that can be used with gluten containing products.

    Thank you very much!!

    Just my 2 cents.... We are now in a society that is awakening to health. As a result some people take supplements, drink expensive juices, follow rigorous workout schedules, avoid carbs, sugar, processed foods or chemicals, and the list goes on. This is all done in the hope that individuals will feel great and live long, healthy lives. So now, I...

    I am also really light-headed and dizzy. Is this a common symptom of celiac or not? I also suffer from constipation and have started having a hard time swallowing. My blood tests showed a low level of TSH. Is thyroid related to celiac? *****I don't know why the above didn't show the OP's text in the quote block, hmmm****** Hi there! You aren't...

    I don't know that I would have thought about that! I guess eventually thinking about all of the possible sources of cc will be second nature. Also, does anyone know where to buy a cast iron pan that isn't pre-seasoned? I have old cast iron from my grandmother, and before she gave it to me we purchased a pre-seasoned, cast iron pan (wasn't cheap) in...

    Thank you so much for all of the information!! I think making sure my levels go up to mid-range will be attended to just as much as avoiding certain foods. Hopefully the combination of these things will make me feel human again!

    MMMMMMMM! You are making my mouth water already!! Thanks for the info on your labs--that answers my question.
  11. joshnjustinsmom
    Thank you both for your help!! I had a follow-up with my PCP and he also told me to go ahead and go gluten-free regardless of biopsy outcome, and I also found out that I have some IgE mediated allergies to many foods including soy and peanuts, so I will be excluding them as well. Hopefully I will see some good results!

    So, I am a little miffed I think at the lab personnel. I know my Doc ordered a tTG, Gliadin Antibody, and total IgA, but when I was getting the blood drawn one of the lab ladies commented to the other that she was going to change the order to the complete Celiac panel. Well, it appears she changed it to only the EMA without total IgA. My result for EMA...

    Gosh I hope you see this...I know it has been a few weeks since your post. I live in the Fredericksburg area and have found a Doc that I think is fabulous in Stafford if you don't mind driving! Mind you I've only been seeing him for a month or so, but I really appreciate that he welcomes (and expects even) the patient to be informed and do research. He...

    Thanks so much for your help! After I did some reading around here I realized that I might have been cc myself by using wooden spoons and non-stick cookware that have previously been used with gluten containing foods (washed afterward of course). This is such a learning process with a huge curve it seems! I'm still trying to find out if you can get...

    Sorry for the late reply here--things have been crazy in my house the last couple of days with holiday company! Honestly I'm starting to wonder if coffee isn't a culprit. Typically I feel really yucky after my first cup of coffee in the morning and start drinking tons of water afterward (don't really know if that helps), but I LOVE coffee....the taste...

    LOL--Somehow I think that agreement would end the same way in my house. There's no harm in trying though right?

    Hi Denise! It is nice to know that I'm not alone! Coffee? Really? That will be a toughie for me!! I guess I'll take that out as well. I have to say that I feel very similar to you...the desire to find out what is going on with me is greater than the desire to eat whatever I want. I will say though that I got rather frustrated in the two weeks that...

    LOL Amy!! I was thinking more along the lines of having another reason to get the whole family to go gluten-free, but I'm thinking that I like your idea of not having to be the one to do dishes better! I'd rather scrub toilets than do dishes! Heather
  19. joshnjustinsmom
    Yes, sorry. It is Been there done that.
  20. joshnjustinsmom
    Thanks for your reply!! I guess I thought that I was eating whole foods (although when I used the tinned beans to make my chicken and bean soup I did question whether or not I should be doing so). I also used prepared, organic, supposedly gluten-free chicken stock every day, and for the first several days was using powdered or jarred, minced garlic (and...

    Hi Everyone! I'm going to try and keep this as short as possible (I'm a very long talker lol). Recently my doctor (a new one to me due to insurance changes) has suggested that I have multiple food allergies and needed to start an elimination diet (wheat, corn, dairy). Past (and current) symptoms have been: abdominal pain (kind of raw feeling, and sharp...
