Hi, I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease by blood test only. I am in the process of trying to find a good gastrointerologist who specializes in celiacs disease for further diagnosis. I live in the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California. Can anyone help?

THANK YOU!!!

Dottie

Here are some contacts from the Celiac Disease Foundation website , they might be able to put you in touch with a good GI. I am in Fresno County and can't find a good one for myself, but found a great one for my kids. I wish you luck.

Hi,

I'm in the Santa Barbara area. Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Santa Barbara, Ventura, Thousand Oaks, or San Luis Obispo areas?

Thanks,

Also there are some support groups in your area as well. These contacts are from the same website I posted above(Celiac Disease Foundation). I hope this helps. They should be able to put you in contact with a good doctor in your area.

THis might be a little far, but I am seeing an incredible GI doctor in Torrance who also has an office in San Pedro. He's really great and to the point and is having me go through all the tests, because he thinks I may have been misdiagnosed with Celiac by an old family practice doctor! The guy really knows his stuff and he's very up-to-date. Here's the info:

Dr. James Sattler

23451 Madison St. Suite 290, Torrance, CA

or

1360 W. Sixth Street, Suite 200, San Pedro, CA

(310)375-1246

He works with four other doctors at Digestive Care Consultants

www.digestivecareconsultants.net

Hope that helps anyone!

I've heard great things about Dr. Edward Feldman from my family. I think he's at Cedars-Sinai in West Hollywood. Sorry I don't have a number handy.

Can I ask, after being diagnosed with celiac, what more is there really to know? I mean, you already know there's damage. Curious, because I've never had anything checked out in my gi other than having a blood test postive for celiac... (and I gotta admit to not being a fan of docs).

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
