Updated Recommendations for Drs. in Oregon/Washington area

Hi, I looked up some drs. here for the Oregon area and didn't have much luck. Does anyone have any new recommendations? 

I called Sarah Brendler, from Springfield, OR, and she just retired. I tried to locate Char Glen and Debra Glasser from Portland, and could not find a current location for them. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I have been seeing Dr. Du Moulin since November and she has helped me SOOO much with rebuilding my digestive tract and immune system after being diagnosed with Celiac last summer. She even discovered a bacteria that had been living in my gut and caused additional food intolerances. She is able to do video appointments too, which is helpful since she is located too far away from me to visit. I highly recommend her! She's the first doctor who actually listened to what I have to say about my symptoms without judgments.  https://renuprogressivemed.com/staff-member/dr-samantha-du-moulin/

I'm seeing Dr. Stephen Wangen from IBS Center right now. I am working on some labs for him to identify food sensitivities. He also gave me some enzyme pills to help digestion and a GI powder. I'm hopeful. He listens well and understands a lot of my frustrations. He usually waits for the labs but decided to try some preliminary things to get me started due to the extent of my pain and the loss of muscle mass.

      @Itsabit, Ask your doctor for an erythrocyte transkelatose test to measure thiamine.  It's a better measure of thiamine deficiency than a serum test.

      Most toothpastes are naturally gluten-free, but this article may be helpful:

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Thank you for your response. It has some good information for me to investigate further. In answer to your question about Vit D, yes, and it was normal. I am having the B12 level done today. Additionally, I am going to have a urine to test for iodine, after a correlation with it to dermatitis herpetiformis was mentioned in another post. I had read that in my research as well. I am praying that I don’t have that! The dietary restrictions, esp when combined with eating gluten free are horrendous! Talk about malnutrition! Anyway, one step, one day at a time. I’m trying not to get ahead of myself. Not easy.

      I'd like to second supplementation.  Around the time of my diagnosis and for a good while afterwards I had twitching muscles, including my face, as well as pins and needles and numbness.  We do have tremors in my family anyway, regardless of being coeliac, so I can't really comment on that. If you can find out where you are with your iron levels and B12, that's a good start.  I am not sure where you are posting from but in the UK normal lab results for B12 are quite a bit lower than in other countries, so you might find if you are borderline you will get some improvement by continuing to supplement that.   I found taking magnesium also incredibly helpful against facial twitches. I don't know about you, but all these symptoms increased my anxiety levels as I was worried about them.  That only served to make the symptoms worse.  So it might be worth looking into addressing any underlying anxiety issues.   I still notice that if I'm nervous, or worried, my blood sugar levels are down, some of the symptoms comes back temporarily.  It's like there is still a bit of a weakness there.
