Help! I have a long history of gastritis.
Now I have such symptoms as- intolerance to dairy products, acute pain over the navel, especially after eating, decrease in appetite, steatorrhea.
My family doctor says that I probably have celiac disease. Please advise me a good specialist in New York.

Your family doctor can get the diagnosis process started by ordering the Celiac blood panel.  The GI is going to need that, and it might save you a few weeks time by getting it done before your first GI appointment.

Hi, everybody!  Today I visited Open Original Shared Link, where I passed my blood test. Now I'm waiting for the results. I was impressed with  Dr. Shawn Khodadadian's approach to my problem. As soon as I get my results I'll let You know.

Fingers crossed you get the answers you need. :)

The site CyclingLady linked to above is really good if you want to get further information on the diagnostic process and / or celiac in general. 

Best of luck!

I have already got the results of my analyses, thanks GOD I don't have celiac.  I was impressed with  Open Original Shared Link work. If I have some problems with my health I would go to his clinic.

Good news!  Please just make sure that you had the complete celiac panel taken.  I never test positive to the TTG even in follow-up testing.  If my GI had not ordered the entire panel, my diagnosis would have been missed.    Remember, that some celiacs are seronegative (about 10%).  

What was the diagnosis, if you don't mind sharing?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.

      Unless your blood antibody levels are 10x the celiac disease positive level they usually do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis.  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I haven't had any of this blood work and my GI doctor immediately scheduled the endoscopy with biopsy based on the large area of inflammation found during my colonoscopy and me relating all the other symptoms I'm experiencing. If the blood testing is positive do you still have to have the endoscopy with a positive biopsy to be definitively diagnosed with celiac? Seems like a waste of money and risk to do it backwards 😕

      glutened?

      Many super sensitive celiacs do have issues with this, especially if they work in a bakery or area where flour may be in the air. Some even seem to have issues being in areas where bread is being baked. Here are some threads here on this:
