<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thank you all for all the support I received for my message Angry and Frustrated. I received over 100 replies and was not able to respond to so many personally. I guess there are a lot of us facing the same frustrations with the medical professionals who are stubborn and not up to date with their specialties. It has been over 2 weeks and there has been no word from my son's doctor about the stomach biopsies that they took on "white spots" or any information about what the doctor thinks is the cause of his stomach problems. By the way, my son's son who is 11 yr. old stayed with us last night. They dropped him off and he brought Chips Ahoy and had milk for a snack. We had to keep the fan going all the evening due to the gas he was having. I am also concerned that my grandson is in puberty with hair under his arms and a changed voice (but still only 5 feet tall - all males in our family, both sides, are over 6'1".) Isn't this awfully young? I am going to try to summarize the results, but it is difficult, because there are so many different, valid responses. Here are a few. *Many just related shared their battle with diagnoses and similar experiences with their doctors who feel the symptoms don't fit.. I appreciate the support, especially when I needed to share and discharge my anger, because anger is a destructive emotion So many of us are fighting this same frustration. Thanks. *Many sent great internet links to professional sites that they recommend I print out and send to the doctors in question, hoping that they will respond to people in their own profession in medical terms. I heard from a member of the Central Jersey Celiac Group who informed me that this group is sending materials to doctors in NJ. I think that is great. *Some felt that I should refer the doctor to the Univ. of Maryland or Dr. Murray of the Mayo Clinic. *Some suggested having my son see other doctors. Unfortunately, my son does not want to have CD, and would rather take a pill than limit his diet, so that if a doctor doesn't think he has CD, then it is okay with him (until the damage is so great he has to reconsider). *Many felt I should intercede and not remain silent due to the dangers of untreated CD. *Many confirmed the celiac and overweight scenario *Many replies stated that they had never had diarrhea as a symptom *Some said to accept it, because there is nothing that can be done about it if my son did not stand up for it to be proactive. *Some responses recommended alternative diagnoses such as Dr. Fines new methods. *Some suggested going to the insurance companies - something that I intend to do about CD in general when I can get a little spare time. *Others related personal stories and news clips. Thanks There were so many great responses, forgive me if I have not covered them all, but they are all part of my collective information. I am going to print up and share your stories with my son and maybe one day the information in the back of his mind will come forward and he will be willing to deal with it. I believe that one day soon we will see this thing address by the medical profession. Maybe I will send these stories to the head of our hospital's gastrointestinal department. Thanks again and God Bless,
