Seeking Primary Care Dr In San Antonio (celiac Knowledgeable)


Lady Buchanan

Recommended Posts

Howdy.

I'm a bit new around here. This is my first posting so if I muff it, please be patient. :rolleyes:

I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and am living quite successfully with gluten sensitivity. I have a wonderful Doc who started life as a Clinical Nutritionist and went on to add D.C. to the list of initials after his name. He's been the BEST in helping figure out why I was sick.

Now that I'm educated, I can see the advanced symptoms on my Mother who lives in San Antonio, Tx. I've spent the last few weeks trying to find a Primary Care Physician there that she can start with. While I have found some well-recommended names, they are not Primary Care docs---and they don't take insurance, rather a problem.

Does anyone out there know of a good Primary Care Doc in San Antonio?

Many Many Many thanks! :D

I'd try poking around www.alamoceliac.org , it's the website for the GIG in Austin, San Antonio, and Corpus Christie. I don't know if there's dr. info on there or not, but you could always call the San Antonio contact and see if they know anyone.

Go to www.chickenparadise.com. The woman who owns/runs this B&B in San Antonio runs the Celiac support group there. Her name is Ann and you can e-mail her from her site. She's an angel and will be glad to help you. Good luck to your Mother. I had a heck of time gettng my own Mother dx'd in FL but I finally got it done.

Gosh, you guys are great. Thank you! Interestingly, I've already chased down the avenue of talking with Ann, the support group leader there. She was an angel! And she did indeed have some names, but they were not primary care docs, unfortunately. I called the people she recommended and tried to network with them to see if they knew any primary care docs, but I came up blank. So I was hoping a general query out here would turn up someone.

And the alamoceliac.org site didn't have an area for the names of docs. I think the gluten thing is still so new to the western medicine world here in America that the docs who do know about it aren't aware that they should advertise themselves.

Best, Cindy!

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
