Mine was a jerk. He did do a lot of biospies but had no real knowledge of Celiac and was a jerk. I'll Pm you his name. I have heard that Randy Brown or Dr. Buser are good GIs

10200 W 105th St Suite 200

Overland Park, KS 66212

(913) 495-9600 (Office)

If you need a Pediatric doctor, my friends daughter goes to Julia Bracken at the Celiac clinic at Children's Mercy.

KU Med have specialists. I wonder if they would have celiac doc. I went to a great GI doc too but he didn't have much to offer me in advice with my celiac when I went for my follow-up after being diagnosed in biopsy. His only suggestion was taking Allign for my gut...some follow up. I should've saved my $25 copay for my Primary care Physician which he referred me to for all of my other problems and pains.

I live in the KC area and was diagnosed with Celiac a few weeks ago. The GI I saw gave me only 10 mins of his time with this diagnosis and all of my problems (anemia, osteopenia, etc...). I left feeling thankful that I have been educating myself because he didn't have much to say. I had to specifically ask whether I needed follow-ups, bloodwork to track iron and such. Have you all been to Dr. Brown or Buser (as recommended above) yet? If so, would you recommend either? Also, since I have Hashimoto's and now Celiac, I think I might need to see a rheumatologist see what else might lurking! Any recommendations?

I actually know Randy Brown as our kids were friends. My husband goes to him but I think it would be a little wierd to go to him. I have been told Dr Buser is good, too. I don't have any reason to see a GI right now. My family doc runs my follow-up blood tests and they have been fine. There is no reason for me to have another endo because I don't have any real issues. I doubt any of them would sit and give you good diet & coping info. Your family doc can do blood tests for vitamins, etc.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Liamclarke · Posted

      I was diagnosed with celiac at age 8 when I dropped down to the bottom 18% of my height and weight class this lead to tests which lead to celiac. I was devastated however with a gluten-free diet I am now taller than 60% of my grade. As I grew older I grew but my symptoms changed to violently throwing up everything inside of my body from a tiny macaron that I know had gluten in it and caused my reaction. However recently I had a full wheat containing cookie and didn’t feel a thing. Absolutely no symptoms at all. No upset stomach no diharea no anything not even a headache. So I told my doctor and he told me to experiment. What better than a fried fluffy donut that aren’t the same gluten-free I had half and had no reaction, not to mention the top ingredient was wheat and it was delicious. Yet still my mom is skeptical and I need to know. Can a kid outgrow celiac?????

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Richardo,  Welcome to the forum!   Good suggestions, although we are aware here that oats, corn and rice can cause problems for some because their proteins have segments that resemble segments of the gluten protein.   What I find most helpful for my dermatitis herpetiformis flares is to increase Niacin Vitamin B 3 and Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  Niacin and Thiamine are needed to turn those carbohydrates into energy to fuel metabolic reactions that keep us healthy.  An influx of carbohydrates demands more of these vitamins.  Since malabsorption of Celiac can cause us to be low in the eight essential water soluble B vitamins, consuming a high carbohydrate diet can deplete thiamine and niacin stores rapidly. There's evidence that Niacin insufficiency plays a big part in dermatitis herpetiformis.   The flushing form of Niacin is known to dilate small blood vessels in the skin which allows the antibodies to be easily cleared from the blisters and induce healing.   Niacin intake should be kept under 500 mg a day otherwise it will lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, but this should only be done under doctor supervision.   Thiamine is nontoxic and safe Eve in high doses.  Every cell in the body needs thiamine to fuel the mitochondrial functions.  A high carbohydrate diet requires 500 - 1000 mg more for every 1000 calories from carbs.
