Thank you so much Jai!! I will look Dr Campbell up and see if I can find a contact number for him and have my family doctor refer me - and nice and close even in ajax! Thanks again and hope your mom continues to do well! sunny

Hi everyone: I live in Peterborough, ON - just east of Toronto. I am looking for a doctor to get referred to in Toronto/Kingston/Ottawa - anywhere really in eastern or central ontario. I was diagnosed a year and a half ago and just had a follow up biopsy which showed no improvement in my small intestine after a year and a half gluten free. Does...

I have been off work now since April as per my doctor's orders and been having many tests. My neurological symptoms would be my biggest complaint and I wonder how many other people share these and when they will get better? I have been gluten free for 1 1/2 years now, but only extremely careful for about eight months now. I have had an MRI and cat...

Wow sounds like the hotel is being accommodating - that is great! I was just in Montreal last week and ate at a St.Huberts - an informal chicken and ribs place. The staff there was very knowledgable and I was able to get the chicken - with no sauce baked potatoe and their traditional cole slaw - all with no problems. There are St Huberts all over the...

Thank you to everyone who replied to my call for help with such empathy and support. You guys are amazing. WOW As of today, I have officially taken a sick leave from work leaving my return date open ended right now. It feels very odd to give in to this as I do love my job, but I am hoping in the long run this will be time well spent. I feel...

Hi there: I was just wondering if anyone out there had any experience with using the Celiacsure Test home test. It is supposed to be 93.5% accurate. The website is www.glutenpro.com. Here is an insert they use to describe what it is testing for? I am new to this site, so maybe this topic has been discussed before and I have missed it - but I just wondered...

You go ahead and vent away - it is very frustrating FOR SURE!! Only people with limitations like celiac or other can really understand. Food is such a huge thing in our society and food that is provided for treats is definitely NEVER gluten free. I am surprised to hear tho that your supervisor was not accomodating to this - in the health care field...

Hi Quincy - the only time I had bloody D and severe weight loss was when I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis which was a year before the MC. They only did another scope cuza my sysmptoms just were not clearing up but they were different from the year before. From my understanding there is not usually blood in the stool with MC and I think MC can be...

Here is the response from another post about MC. Hope this helps. Not sure if the link will post, but if you google "microscopic colitis forum" it should be the first one that pops up, with the address containing "persky farms" something or other. Open Original Shared Link People on here are just amazing to provide such kind advice...

Hi Quincy: I know exactly what you mean when you say barely made it through the year. I decided to take time off when |I would look at people and not even recognize them any more my brain fog was so bad and memory loss so impacted. The stomach stuff I can manage as bad as it gets - but the neurological symptoms - they are what is doing me in. yes...

Hi Maximoo: Yes your economic point is a very good one. I feel lucky to have very good benefits at work and would only lose a small portion of my income and my job would definitely still be there upon my return. However for me it is emotional - giving up vs fighting through...... thanks so much for your advice!!

Thanks GlutenFreeMamma: Yes I am in the same position right now also - my manager wants a note from my doc saying I am well enough to work. I am verylucky to have such a great manager - she would rather I took all the time I needed to get well as she thinks this will help more in the long run. She has seen me struggling wtih my health issues for years...

thanks for sharing your experience and advice Diane-in-Maine. I am sorry to hear that you have given up your job also - but it sounds like you will be better off in the long run. Maybe when you are feeling better you can find something that you can do that is similar - I know the social part of work is huge for me also. It is funny but when I hear of someone...

I just wondered if anyone out there has taken an extended period of time off work ( two or three months)in order to heal from celiac and multiple symptoms and if you did - did this help you a lot? I am 46 and was finally diagnosed after twelve years of symptoms some requiring hospitilization and also have microsopic colitis. I went gluten free last...

Hi Tictax Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and positive words. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post. I will definitely try to check out other food allergies and will remember that getting incrementally better is really what I need to look for - not instant results. I will also check out the colitis info you provided...
