All my symptoms indicate Sjogrens but I do not have the usual antibodies.Drs, dentists say yes, immunologist says no.Wonder who I believe?
Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose conditions, provide second opinions or make specific treatment recommendations through this correspondence. If you would like to seek help from Mayo Clinic, please call one of our appointment offices. The numbers can be found at http://www.mayoclinic.org/ under “request an appointment.”
Sjogren’s syndrome is just that, a syndrome. You do not need to have all the findings to make the diagnosis. Often the antibodies become positive later in the course.
There is a new product on the market that is supposed to help people with an autoimmune Disease. It is called DigestaCure. My wife has Sjogrens Syndrome and I would like your opinion on whether this is a scam or if there is any medical research that suggests it may help some patients. Would be very grateful for any feedback on this. Thankyou. Dennis W Harris.
We have forwarded your question for a possible reply.
If you read the very bottom of the ad for this material there is a disclamer by the seller that they do not claim that it does anything. They state that some individuals have claimed it helped them. There is nothing written to support what thee calimed 14 years of “research” was about.
