<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I need your help... Before going gluten-free, I had applied for some insurance. Not wanting to lie, I told them about my recent trips to a regional heart center for treatment of high-blood-pressure. After having a multitude of tests, the cardiologist simply told me that high-blood-pressure was just a part of "you being you" and there was nothing that could be done about it (they couldn't find anything wrong). After going on the gluten-free diet, my blood pressure has stabilized to a normal range. My cardiologist (at one of East Tennessee's most prestigious regional heart centers) told me that Celiac Disease would have "absolutely nothing" to do with blood pressure. To make a long story short, I was denied insurance because my records (from The Heart Institute) reflect that Celiac Disease can have NO effect on blood-pressure. I scheduled a visit with him next week and I need an arsenal of information to prove him otherwise. I would love to get from the users of this list any information, links to information, personal testimony's, ANYTHING that I can take in and TEACH THIS DOCTOR that Celiac CAN affect blood pressure. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, I will let you know how I make out. By the way, any personal testimony's would carry more clout if you could list a doctor's name, region, phone #, etc. Mitchel in Tennessee [log in to unmask]
