I accidentally found out I have a problem with gluten when I stopped eating gluten in June, it was a misunderstanding following an allergist appointment... but, long story short, I have had a tremendous turn around in my health (migraine free for five months, lost fifteen pounds, sleep through the night, and much much more). My current physician hasn't been much help, she just says keep up the good work, and I either have a wheat allergy, but most likely Celiac Disease, that's it... sigh... So, now that I'm relocating I thought it was a perfect time to find a Celaic friendly general practitioner, and to make it even more difficult, it would be really cool if it was a woman doctor.

Thanks for the help!

Hey...I wish I could help you. I go to school in Elmira, but I've never seen a GI there. I saw an endocrinologist who was pretty good, but that's all. I'd imagine that there are some GI docs up in Corning, in Elmira associated with Arnot Ogden Medical Center or maybe in Sayre, PA. Let me know if you've come up with anything!!

I was actually just diagnosed November 27th, by Dr. Weiner at Corning Guthrie Internal Medicine. I went in on my Thanksgiving Break from school, and found out the following week. When I went in, he was extremely concerned about finding a name for my problem, and after the blood tests came back, he diagnosed me with Celiacs. As I go to school in Pittsburgh, I had to wait a few weeks, and I have an appointment in Elmira next week for my endoscopy, so we will see how this works out. Since my insurance does not cover the cost of a nutritionist, I have been doing the majority of the research on my own. I would suggest calling Corning Guthrie, and Internal Medicine and ask who deals with Celiacs disease. I can suggest Dr. Malavat, a wonderful doctor, but he is male. I will let you know if I hear any more and it will be interesting to see who I will begin seeing as my PCP for this disease.

Hello Mel,

There is a great holistic medical doctor in Athens, PA (Sayre area). Her name is Dr. Barbara Harvey.

She is celiac herself and is a wonderful doctor of functional medicine. She is a real gem. Her office phone number is 570-888-8886.

I have known her for over 10 years.

I hope this helps you. Sincerely, Doris Doheny, Doctor of Chiropractic

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely. 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.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in...

Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!
