Need a good GI doc as soon as possible for Celiac.  I have an appt with Dr Green at Columbia, but earliest they could give it to me was late Dec.  I have been to 4 GI docs over the last several years and they know less than I do, one said avoid Corn!  I have no problem in traveling up to 100 miles.  Would be great if you could recommend one in NYC, Long Island, CT and not too far into NJ.  THanks.

I LOVE my GI doctor - he's in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.  Not too far of a drive from NYC, maybe like 20-30 mins away?  He tested me for Celiac before I even knew what Celiac was and I only reported minimal symptoms.  His name is Dr. Gillin and I've included the website for the practice below.  The campus is huge and practice includes any kind of doctor you would need and even an urgent care center, a lab, MRI/X-ray imaging center, outpatient surgery, etc.  So when I have to get my endoscopy, I just walk downstairs to the surgical center and they send all my results upstairs to Dr. Gillin.  Its super convenient and he takes everything I say very seriously.  Knows a lot about Celiac and was even asking about "cross-contamination" when I met with him for my check-up.... I hope this works for you!!

      Confused about my results

      By Russ H · Posted

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else

      By RMJ · Posted

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I...

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?
