Does anyone know of a doctor familiar with celiac disease in Colorado? I'd also like him to be able to deal with multiple food intolerances.

TIA,

I have found a great doctor in Denver--unfortuneately he is a pediatric gastroenterologist. (my 2 yearold is having an endoscopy this week and will probably be diagnosed with celiac disease) So unless you are under 18, he won't see you, but I'm sure he or his office could refer you to an adult gastroenterologist that they work with. When you get a name of a gastroenterologist, call and speak with a nurse and ask how many patient's with celiac disease he/she treats and look for someone with a lot of patients in his care.

Good Luck!

You can call the Denver South Metro Gastroenterology. They have two offices: Skyridge Hospital in Lone Tree and near Swedish Medical in Denver.

I just visited the Skyridge office last week for the first time. There are at least half-dozen doctors in the office. I went for the consult referral (my prime doc sent me) and within two days the endoscopy and bone density tests were done. I've been advised to start GL; the final test results will be here in a few days. In the meantime, I'm a newbie to the Web site. Looks like I have a lot of learning to do!

I suppose I'm "holding out" for this final test (I've already done the blood & allergy tests) before I go GL. Oh, I am not looking forward to it at all! I enjoy everything about food: eating, cooking, the conversations, new experiences, everything! So, I'll allow my taste buds to enjoy the next few days before I go GL.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.

      So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me!

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.

      IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point.
