Doctors In Arkansas

I was diagnosed with Celiac in early October, however by GI Dr doesn't really seem to know a lot about the disease. I am having multiple issues and he just thinks it will all clear up in a couple of months with the right diet. From what I have read that is not necessarily true and I would like a second opion. I live in Northwest Arkansas and have not had any luck finding a doctor in the area. Any ideas for NW Arkansas, NE Oklahoma or even SW Missouri...all those areas are within traveling distance. Thanks. :) Lori in Arkansas

Hi Lori,

I also live in NW Arkansas. I go to Tulsa for my Celiac management. I have a great GI there that knows a lot about Celiac. His name is Markham L. Nightengale, MD.

He runs all the additional bloodwork for liver, b12, vit. d, anemia, thyroid, etc. He also ran other tests to check for crohns and other GI diseases. He had me get a dexascan which showed osteoporosis.

He seems really up on the disease and the effects it can have on the whole body. He monitors me for those things every six months. If you want his number let me know. I don't know anyone locally that treats Celiac. You could ask the local support group. I think there is a pretty group in the Springdale area.

By the way, there is a great restaurant in Tulsa that has a large selection of gluten free items. The owner/chef has celiac disease, so everyone there has knowledge of the gluten free diet.

Congrats on your new coach. I am an OU fan, but also follow the razorbacks.

Dr. Mark Olsen in Lowell is a doctor I highly recommend. he suspected I had Celiac disease because of the typical symptoms but also because of my neurological problems similar to Multiple Sclerosis. He did all the right things and I was diagnosed at last. Never felt better.

We have a Fayetteville support group but I've lost contact. I need to check with the health foods section of the Harps store across from Hobby Lobby. Do you know anyone in the Fayetteville group and how to get in touch?

      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.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
