Good Docs In Columbus, Oh?

Looking for a good doc in Columbus, Ohio. Was having problems, had the bloodtest (on my suggestion) but it came up negative. I had been off gluten for a month then and (correct me if I'm wrong), I now realize I should have been eating gluten to get the test to show a positive? I have started eating gluten again and having nasty issues so I'd really like to know for sure.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I know you have been waiting a long time for a responce. Just came across your post. Sorry to hear there are no good Doctors in Columbus, Ohio. I had my biopsey done by Micheal Stiff. He is in a privet practice in Westerville. Great guy. I was initially diagnosed by my dermitologist Dr. Kevin Kericomi. I know I misspelled his last name. Sorry. He is also in westerville on Schrock Rd. I believe the name of the practice is "Westerville Dermitology".

If you have found a family care doctor let me know. Maybe if we could get a large number of people with Celiac/DH to go to the same doctor, we could help that person become a specialist.? Food for thought?

My celiac dx was done at Riverside - they have a GREAT endoscopy department. I will dig out my info and post it on here for you. I felt like a queen (well, as much as one can when being poked and prodded!). Seriously though, I felt like I was at a spa - not a hospital.

The GI that did my endoscopy:

Mark Stechschulte, MD

Ohio Gatroenterology Group, Inc.

From their letterhead, I see that they have 3 offices in Columbus. Here are the phone #s:

614-457-1213

614-221-8355

614-864-1087

I saw him at Riverside Hospital. After he got the results of my biopsy, he sent me a formal letter explaining the results, as well as recommendations for my future care.

Good luck to you and I hope that if you go to this group, you find the help that you need.

Take care,

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
