gluten-free!

i have always had stomach problems and i have never gone to a gastroentrologist in my life. the thought of going to one never even came up. once i started working for a primary care doctor's office, i realized that why should i feel like shit everyday of my life if i can do something about it amd get down to the bottom of it. i faxed a letter over to my doctor's office to see if he could refer me to a group that the doctor's office i work for refers a lot of our patients to. they're called saratoga-schenectady gastroentrology, a large group of dedicated specialists with three different locations. so my doctor faxed an insurance referral over to saratoga-sch gastro and i received a call a couple days later to be set up for a consult appointment. i got my appointment scheduled with a doctor by the name of dr william gusten. he just joined the group recently from long island. he is a really good doctor and he takes good care of me. he helps me out a lot. at least now i know the root of the problem and i now i know how to treat myself and make myself feel better. i'm very anemic because i'm not absorbing any nutrients, so i have to start taking more vitamins and drink lots of water and no more wheat!! i can't wait to make myself healthier!
