Looking For A Doctor Is Chicago Area

Recommended Posts

I was diagnosed in October 2003 but the GI cannot answer any of my questions. I have had to research everything on my own. I'm also looking for a suport group in the area.

Marybet,

If you live in the Chicago area you should contact the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Program. They have a lot of information on their website, and if you couldn't get in to see one of their doctors, then maybe they could put you in touch with another good one. They could also point you towards some support groups in your area.

Here is the contact information I found on this site-Celiac.com:

Michelle Melin-Rogovin, Program Director

The University of Chicago Celiac Disease Program

I hope this helps.

God bless,

      They are concerned about the GI side effects and malabsorption of the medication.

      Welcome to the forum, @marion wheaton! Can you be more specific about why the doctors were concerned about you taking the medication? Was there a connection between there concern and you having celiac disease?

      I'm newly diagnosed with osteoporosis. 2 doctors have recommended I start alendronate (Fosamax). Both doctors expressed concern with the oral medication and at the same time are uncertain about the IV form. Is there any reliable information on celiac disease and the use of alendronate for the treatment of osteoporosis?

      We don't have a Trader Joe in my town, but a small local grocer has started carrying a variety of Dr Schaar products. I do like all of his that I have tried.

      Gluten can cause inflammation in the digestive tract and that includes the mouth.  Also, nutritional deficiencies can cause oral inflammation.  Cobalamine B12 deficiency and Niacin B3 deficiency can result in swollen irritated tongues and mouth sores.  Salt would definitely cause further irritation.... Like pouring salt in a wound....
