Celiac Disease was on my local news today!!!
Just as I was getting ready to leave for work, my sweetie says, "Celica disease is on the news!" It was the best I have seen so far. A local doctor was telling about celiac disease, he was giving the correct info to the public, wasn't afraid to mention the stomach issues, and he even said that maybe as many as 80% of patients that come through his door should be tested. He mentioned the different diseases that many get before they know they should be gluten free, he even mentioned stomach cancer. All in maybe 5 mins. Was very good.
The best part, this man is just 40 mins from me--I may just call for an appointment. This is what we found on www.news12.com website. Do not bother trying to connect to the site, you must have cablevision and your own password from them to use it--that's why we copied and pasted it for you: Celiac Disease The only absolutely certain test for celiac is an intestinal biopsy. But many holistic physicians rely on the IgG Elisa and FICA test. It's a relatively recent breakthrough in the field of food allergy testing that uses a simple finger prick to extract blood. Unlike the IgE test which measures immediate reactions, the IgG test measures delayed responses to a food. Look for a holistic medical doctor or a nutritionally oriented chiropractor: Dr. Richard Linchitz Integrative Medical Centers Glen Cove 516 759-4200 Dr Alan Sherr Chiropractor, Northport 631 262-8505 Dr Steven Silverman Chiropractor, Roslyn Heights 516 484-0776 Dr. Gary D'Brant Chiropractor, Glen Head 516 609-0890 Dr. Lenny Izzo Chiropractor Center Point, Huntington 631 547-5433 Recommended Books: The Gluten, Wheat & Dairy Free Cookbook by Antoinette Savill Stores selling Gluten Free pastas, breads, cereals, cakes and crackers: Dr. B Well Naturally Plainview Wild By Nature Huntington, Setauket, and Hampton Bays locations Whole Foods Manhasset and Jericho locations Many small health food stores also carry gluten free pancake mix, pastas...etc. Yes, he is a holistic physician, yet at this time I would love to have a doctor that knows more than I do about celiac disease. The one who was interviewed was Dr. Richard Linchitz. |
Hey, these are all in Long Island--
--if you're not far from NYC, have you ever thought about coming into the city for appointments with the Columbia center--Dr. Peter Green's group--or, if you have neuropathy, into the Cornell-Weill Center, where Drs. Latov, Chin, Sander, Brannigan, et. al., have done a lot of work on gluten-associated neuropathy?

I'm a country bumpkin from Michigan--I hate the city. I drove through Manhattan in Dec 2005 and I do not know that I will ever go to the city again!:confused:
