Hi.

I'm looking for an experienced doctor who has experience and is up to date with the latest research about celiac.

I don't want to go to him, but rather chat with him online or send him an e-mail with some questions I have.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

 In the US, a real doctor can't really treat you on-line.  

 

This site usually answers emails as best they can but seem to be over-loaded right now.  They have a lot of good info on the site that you might find answers your questions.

I'm not looking for a treatment, I just have some questions I want answered by an expert.

Thanks.

I do not know of any expert celiac doctor who has the time to chat online.

My doctor is awesome, but even he can't take time to do that.

That said, he will return my calls on the same day, but he is my doctor and I am an established patient. (and he loves me ) :) 

 

What types of questions do you have?

If they are general questions about celiac, look at the link Karen provided..Just .go to the FAQ section and search.,

Tons of info there..

I second all of the above.  Best resource is this website.  They have a lot of questions answered already, and you can submit more.  Be very very careful seeking medical advice from people who post online saying they are doctors or experts.

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

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
