Can anyone recommend a great doc in the Madison, WI area?

We've just moved to the area...looking for both pediatric and adult celiac docs. Thanks!

If you are willing to drive, pediatric GI, Dr. Daryl Fish, is the best.  He is at Marshfield Clinic in Marshfield, but also travels to Wausau and Eau Claire.  Besides being a wealth of information, he is very caring, an exceptional listener and great with kids.  Whenever my daughter has an appointment, I am impressed by the amount of time he spends with us.  He never seems rushed and always answers my questions.  You won't find a better pediatric GI.

I have seen dr James Wishau in lake mills a couple of times. He is a GI and im hoping to get some kind of diagnosis from him next week. He seems very intelligent and listens to everything you have to say. I believe he work primarily in madison. Hes only in lake mills once a month. He is the only Dr that has said my problem sounds like celiacs. He got mad at the emergency room drs who took tests on me. They didn't do the test for celiacs and now i can't get an accurate test because i went gluten free before i ever got to see dr wishau. I'm not sure if there is a better dr for celiacs in the area, but dr wishau seems like a great dr and i know a couple of people with chrones disease that love him. Thats how i found out about him. It might be worth a google search to find him.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
