Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Sorry, I don't know anything about this doctor - why was he insisting you eat bread? Just to test the diagnosis?

Then he'd insist on it, twice more, every 10 or 15min. **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I do NOT generally like to badmouth ppl, but my appt w/ Dr. <jackass>Gray (sorry! I can't say his name w/out the addition) STILL makes my blood boil, and it was back in '04. Having originally been dx'd as a child, in the 60s, AND having unBELIEVably great response to the GF diet I'd been on for 10+ months (prior to gf I was maybe months from needing institutional care), I was sure I made it QUITE clear I wouldn't be eating bread every day for a month the FIRST time he asked. Then he'd insist on it, twice more, every 10 or 15min. It was as if he had ZERO clue about what celiac can do beyond the basic GI symptoms. I think he was in it just to recruit test subjects. The entire 45min was infuriating and I felt he had no interest in actually helping me. Still being quite brain-fogged, I couldn't effectively argue w/ him, but he barely let me go through my symptoms & story anyway.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 My husband saw Dr. Gray over 4 years ago and I agree with Tom's assessment. We were kept waiting over 2 hours, finally interviewed by a doctor in training, and then only spoke with Dr. Gray for a few minutes. He did NOT want to listen or answer my husband's questions. (We did not go back and found a GI doctor close to home.) In my opinion, Dr. Gray he should not be seeing patients. He should stick to his research work. >> I do NOT generally like to badmouth ppl, but my appt> w/ Dr. <jackass>Gray (sorry!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Just goes to show how different people's experiences can be. Sounds like he's not a good doc. to go see if you have already been on a gluten free diet. But probably is fine for a complete newbie with insurance.BeaHiDee HoMan <hideehoman@...> wrote: I do NOT generally like to badmouth ppl, but my appt w/ Dr. <jackass>Gray (sorry!

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Again, I do apologize for that. I have no webdings or any other font options. I'm doing all of this on a phone - the sidekick.
