Hi -

I previously only had skin symptoms (DH) and now am experiencing GI symptoms. Can anyone recommend a GI Dr. in the Seattle region?

Thank you,

Shawn

You might try heading to UW. Sometimes, the university medical centers have better experience with a wider range of issues than a standard practice. I've heard that they generally have excellent doctors. (I'm on the east side, and don't have a GI.)

If you've been diagnosed with DH, however, you HAVE celiac disease and NEED to be STRICTLY gluten free.

Thank you.

I've been gluten- free. I'm experiencing more pain and discomfort and flatulence and am concerned that I'm now intolerant of other things as well. I have some other concerns. Very irregular bowels.

Dr. Chaffee. He has an office in Edmonds and a new office in Mill Creek.

Dr. Stephen Wangen but he doesn't take insurance. He wrote the book Healthier Without Wheat and has celiac himself. His office is in by Swedish Hospital.

I like Weny Ellis at Tahoma Clinic in Renton, WA She is a Naturepath and has Celiac herself, very good at finding underlying problems. She also does not take Ins. A little expensive.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
