Hi there
I was wondering if anyone here in England, UK could recommend a specialist
for me. I would prefer the South of England. I have just been to a
private Gastro. Dr. who was absolutely useless. It has taken me 2 weeks to
recover and even want to go to another Dr. He implied that I had anorexia,
even checked me over and when I said I ate a lot, he said that was a matter
of opinion. He said that maybe I have CD but that constipation is NOT a
side effect. I have been constipated all my life, until I went GF last
year. The only reason I went to him was because I can not put on weight
and I am soooooo bloated all the time. He was just awful. He has said
that if my blood test comes back negative, which it could do, because I
have been GF for so long, then I would HAVE to go on a gluten challenge.
What are opinions on this? I am soooo ill on gluten, I get breathless,
disorientated, limp, irritable and constipated again. My heart also
races. He said that these side effects are nothing, I must just live with
them for a bit!!! I have 7 children to look after and homeschool, I can
not do the challenge. Has anyone got any good articles that I can print
off for him. The good news was that for the first time in my life, I am
not anaemic, this is a miracle. If my blood test shows negative, will a
biopsy help or will it also show negative?
Thanks for anyone with advice
