Hello all. I am curious if anyone knows of a good, knowledgeable doctor in the Central Ohio area? I have Celiac and leaky gut/candida like symptoms, but every doctor i see won't take me seriously because i have never had a biopsy done. I went gluten free almost two years ago due to my family doctor saying i was positive for Celiac through a blood test, only later to find out my results were "borderline". I'm hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction to help me find a doctor that will take my symptoms seriously, despite my lack of an official diagnosis.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bridges.

I know of a doctor at OSU that is an expert in Celiac. He has classes, seminars etc. He also takes patients. He was very highly recommended by my rheumatologist, I am just north of you. As you probably know OSU is a teaching hospital complex so they stay extremely current with there services.

Just go to the OSU Medical Centers Site and search for Dr. Ackerman.

Good luck to you and I hope this information is helpful for you.

Is Dr. Ackerman still at OSU? I'm not finding one on the website, just an anesthesia doctor.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ and unfortunately different celiacs have different trigger levels for gluten, and some celiacs have little or no symptoms at all when exposed to gluten.

      In people with celiac disease, gluten can trigger migraine headaches, and we have a category of research summaries on this topic: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Barilla Gluten Free Pasta makes me sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      They are made in a dedicated gluten-free facility, but anything is possible. It looks like their product contains Xanthan Gum, is it possible you have issues with Xanthan Gum?  https://www.maninis.com/products/4-cheese-tortelloni/ This article might be helpful:

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      ABP2025, there are no definitive diagnostic tests for NCGS. It is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease despite continuing symptoms from gluten ingestion.

      So keep eating gluten daily, lots of it, until all celiac disease screening is completed. A negative biopsy would not rule out NCGS. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
