    I think you're right -- it doesn't matter HOW you were diagnosed, if you're gluten intolerant, celiac, or if gluten affects you negatively in ANY way, we all ARE in the same boat. Hopefully with Celiac and gluten intolerance becoming more and more prevalent in both print and on the news, MD's will get the hint and start taking this much more seriously. ...

    ARCHIVED Naturopathic Doctor

    tiredofdoctors replied to mtdawber's topic in Doctors

    Sophiekins -- WOW -- that is great information. I had no idea that there is actually an NMD. I knew that naturopaths weren't MD's, but had no idea that an MD could actually become a naturopathic doctor. I was skeptical about the woman that I saw, but she was given good references by some friends and acquaintances. Boy, they must have had better outcomes...

    Welcome to the forum, Aussiegirl!! Unfortunately, I think you are going to get a LOT of responses from people who have had this much difficulty. Physicians haven't been informed properly of the subtle and not-so-subtle symptoms of celiac. Hopefully, since it is becoming more in the forefront with regard to publicity, they will begin to educate themselves...

    Welcome to the board! I have neurological celiac -- and what you are describing are exactly the symptoms I had for a LONG time -- and was told by several that I was a head case!! I did, however, have elevated anti-gliadin antibodies. The first test showed them as high, the second as "outrageously high" according to my neurologist. The other two tests...

    According to my doctors, yes, it is more pronounced in Celiacs. I have seborrhic dermatitis (fancy words for seborrhea) . . . it's between eczema and psoriasis . . . . so I guess I'm on the side of the fence that's proving them right!

    Rusla, I am so SORRY that you're that sick. You poor baby. All that because of chocolates that were supposed to be gluten-free. I hope you're feeling much better VERY soon. Please take care of you. I need to e-mail you, as well . . . have some interesting news to tell you!! There -- that will keep you guessing for awhile! Talk to you soon, ...

    ARCHIVED Naturopathic Doctor

    tiredofdoctors replied to mtdawber's topic in Doctors

    I haven't been to a naturopath since being diagnosed, but did prior to that. She gave me vitamins and supplements that I was supposed to take six times per day . . . I ended up having to go to a conventional MD because I had lupus-like signs and symptoms. I went off the vitamins et al for about three months, tried them again, and the same thing happened...

    Sorry, the transracial adoptees I know are still too little to realize that they look different than their parents!!!!! Good luck with your paper, though . . . I think it sounds like it is going to be REALLY good. Keep us posted . . . . . Lynne

    I'm finally here! Sorry to scare you guys, and VERY sorry not to follow-up on cards. The pneumonia really took it out of me . . . I basically stayed in bed for about two weeks. Spent all Christmas day in bed, my son and his girlfriend came to see me and I just had them come back to the bedroom! Didn't even feel like sitting in the living room . . . ....

    Since we're talking about eyes . . . . I have plugs in my tear ducts because I don't produce enough tears . . . no big deal, really, and I'm going to have them cauterized so that they scar shut. The plugs come out too easily, and my insurance doesn't cover them. It could get VERY expensive, at this rate! I haven't ever had a problem with gooey eyes or...

    ANGIE!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! Creative Soul -- what a GREAT story. I am so glad that you have those kind of people in your life. What a blessing! Plus books on tattoos . . . very cool. My favorite gift? Hmmmm...... tough call ........ has to be a tie between my Aerosmith pajamas and my HUGE book about Faeries. Oh -- and I got a call from my...

    Okay, I have asked this question probably too many times before, but I have had a new experience with it. I developed what looked like the beginning of chicken pox (only smaller) on three spots of my leg -- all in close proximity. It was after I accidentally consumed gluten in generic antibiotics I was given. They itched like CRAZY -- because they started...

    Hey Angie, would you happen to know off-hand the names of the free hosting sites? Was considering "ink-frog" for that exact reason, but their minimum charge is $9.99 per month. I think it would still be cheaper than what ebay socks to you at the end. (no pun intended, I'm serious.) See, I manage to say things that would potentially get me in trouble when...

    Each person responds differently to each medication. I would make sure that my physician is very well-versed with regard to anti-depressants; quite often, the most information they have about them is what they receive from the sales representatives. Otherwise, I would see a psychiatrist, who HAS to stay on top of each of the medications (not that they aren...

    I feel so sorry for that woman. How embarrassing. I'm sure she was humiliated . . . . That was really sad. I hope she gets tested for Celiac.

    I found some links that deal with Neurological Celiac (some are better than others!): Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link (this one has a LIST of neurological cond.) Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link (This one was written in 1999!!!!!) Hope these help! Lynne

    I was VERY surprised that it worked. I was skeptical . . . as I usually am! At one time, I had a PCP who told me that, because for 3 weeks I had been having a headache in one area in the left front -top of my head, that I could have an aneurysm, and I needed to go to a neurologist!! So I go . . . and he puts me on elavil and neurontin -- and I have NO...

    I actually ordered Freeda Prenatal Vitamins prior to my daughter's wedding (my daughter said it would help my hair grow . . .figured it can't hurt, might help!). They're fantastic. No horrible "vitamin-y" smell when you open the bottle, just very faint. They're reasonable, and they deliver right to your door -- quickly. Freeda Vitamins are everything...

    My kids and I are ADHD or ADD . . . all have tested with high IQ's. Go figure . . . .

    That was GREAT!! Thanks for sharing!

    My long distance friend Karen sent me cake mixes, brownie mixes, alfredo sauce and chicken soup base that I can't get here . . . . My long distance friend Armetta sent me Tinkyada (sp?) pasta -- lots of it!!!! Also, you could send her the newest GIG lists -- they have two now, split into Foods, etc. and Medicines.

    Karen -- I can send up an extra space heater and a 50' outdoor cord, if you need it. Give him some extra blankets, too. Sure you guys up there have sleeping bags that are rated for below zero. I also have a little electric/or/ battery-operated T.V. It gets crappy reception, but then again . . . . Maybe someone else has a little hot plate . . . he could...

    I had chronic sinusitis for what seemed like AGES! I had taken tons of antibiotics and had been on Prednisone for another condition for a long time. I had also used cortisone nasal spray. My PCP said during a visit that my breath smelled "yeasty". I told him that I thought it did, too, and that my feet didn't have "stinky feet" odor, but smelled like...

    Guys -- must wreak havoc this month!! Last month we didn't get into any trouble . . . . Scott, get your nitro pills ready . . . . !!!!! (Just kidding -- as we all know, I'm on a mission NOT to get into trouble [much] this year)
