From what I have been reading I should not have to be on it very long because I get "the rash" within 24 hours of eating gluten and that can be biopsied. I hope that is correct. The way I heard it "Not every Celiac get's the rash ... but everyone with the rash is Celiac."

What is the gene test ? I haven't heard about that. I get the rash the very next morning after being glutened ... I have no problem getting it biopsied. Do you have to see a special dermatologist? I have one who gave me a skin allergy test for a nail issue. Turns out I am allergic to acetone and also acryllic ... no more nails ... and I had them for...

I live in California. LOL She is the only Endo in my county .... but I can drive to see my old one. I talked to my GP about it and she basically said she has to work with this woman and doesn't want to "cross her" ..... I couldn't even believe she said that. So she is a no go.

I have no trust in this woman anymore. I even went so far as to make sure with the lab that my Vitamin D test result copies will be sent to me. I really have a feeling, because of the way she acted that she will say it's fine even if it's not. It's really sad when you lose faith in your Doctor. I called my old one and set up an appointment for next month...

Thanks. This just feels so weird talking about all this stuff on a blog. Doesn't it ? Are you gluten-free ? I feel so much better. It's like night and day. My Mom always had all these issues and just lived with them. I just figured I had the vertigo and everything because she did and it ran in the family. Funny thing is ... the Hashimotos came from...

I've never been tested. I've been telling her for years about my intestinal issues and the airy smelly diahrea stools ... so sorry for the graphics .. this feels so weird talking about this on a blog .... she never said anything. I can go back to my second Endo ... it's a bit of a drive, but I really liked him. She took his place in my county. ...

You are right, she just pretends they are not there and does a lot of eye rolling. I also heard that if you have Celiac that it can affect your Vitamin D. I have always been super strong and had horses my whole life ... I'm mid 40's and in the last few years my muscles are so weak. My friend suggested I get my Vitamin D levels tested. When I asked her...

I have Hashimotos' and was diagnosed 12 years ago. I see and Endocrinologist and have been telling her over the years of issues to no avail. I found this site and discovered that it is very possible I am Celiac. My Endo won't even listen and/or test me. She says the likely hood I am is almost nil. I have been gluten-free now since November. SOOO MANY...
