Celiac Nutrionist/dietian In Chicagoland Area

[bwcalder1977]

I am looking for a nurtionist/dietian in the chicagoland area that can really help me plan meals and stick to my gluten free diet. I have a hard time sticking to the diet and thats mostly because I cant really plan well. I want to find someone who can help me create a meal plan as well as someone who can help me determine what to eat to lose weight as well. Anyone know of a doctor in the chicagoland area they can recommend?

Did you try calling the Univ of Chicago Celiac Center? Maybe they have someone?

You might try Park Ridge Multi-Med. It is located in uptown Park Ridge. The entire staff is amazing. Dr Berndtson is so caring and thorough. He has a great sense of humor too. He has worked wonders for me. I have Hashimoto's and severe gluten intolerance. He has 2 dieticians in his office as well as accupuncture and chiropractor services. The office manager, Mary, is incredible. Everyone knows you by name. It is a very calm and relaxing experience, even through the hard stuff.

The practice offers a gluten free support group, we meet on Tuesday nights and there is a facebook page and a facebook discussion forum for the support group.

I can add the address and phone info when I return home tonight. I'm at the office at the moment.

Good luck in your endeavors. Hope you find a doctor that you love, I sure have.

Thanks for the information. Im going to look them up and see if I can get a appointment. I work up in Deerfield so Park Ridge is not far at all. I would love to be able to go to a gluten free support group and talk about all the symptoms I have. I would love to see if others are having the same problems.

Thanks!!!
