Looking For A Celiac Doc In Vancouver, Wa Area

Does anyone know either a Primary or a GI that specializes in Celiac in Vancouver, WA?

 

Can you give me advice how to find one?  Do I need to call every office? GP, or GI? I still need blood work done.

I've called a few offices and the person kind of breezes by the answer - oh yeah, doc -fill in the blank- has been a GI for 20+ years. I ask but does he specialize in Celiac Disease? Well he has been in business for 20+ years and know what he is doing... me- ok thank you very much. I don't have confidence the doc know specifically about C.

 

I want to find someone to look at my symptoms, deside to do testing and know that i had a EDG with only one biopsy. A doc that knows, he should have taking 6-10 samples.

 

How do I find a doctor the specializes in, or is knowledgable in C?

 

 

And I have been off gluten for 5 days now. If I go back on today for the test, is 5-6 days away - is that  long enough since I was only off if for 5 days? I know you are offering opinions. My doc said it wouldn't matter....But that's not what I hear on here.

 

Please tell me how you guys found you docs. Are they GI's, Natural? GP's?

 

Thanks

      @Healthierbody2026, as I said above, there is not a separate forum within this community for NCGS people and I do not know of one anywhere else. You sound uncertain whether your physician ordered blood tests for celiac disease or for diabetes. Do you have access online to your medical records and test results?

      @trents first response: can you direct me to that particular section of this site for NCGS or and are there any groups I can join for people with NCGS? second response: I can’t really remember due to it was some or a few years back but I believe she did blood tests or work on me or I think she did a glucose test on me.

      There is not a distinct section in this particular online resource and community devoted to those with NCGS. And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com...

And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com is divided into a number of separate forums, each devoted to a different topic or concern within the gluten intolerant/gluten sensitive population. Having said that, the main is on those with celiac disease (or their support systems) rather than those with NCGS because it has more serious long-term health implications. I see. Can you elaborate on how you were tested to arrive at this diagnosis?
