Chicago Area Celiacs, Please, I Need Some Help

[Zoeysfat]

I have tried reading thru all of the posts, but I haven't found anything yet. If anyone out there is from the Chicago area and know of a good doctor, please, I need a referal. After reading many of the posts I realize I am doing a lot of things wrong, I just want to get on a right track and not feel like this disease has gotten the best of me. Please, anyone?

hi there. i am from Chicago and am seeing a very good doctor at the University of Chicago. Her name is Dr. Carol Semrad. I am not going to lie - she is not the most personable doctor out there, a little on the dry side - but she knows a lot about celiac. I also see a dietician at the U of C by the name of Dr. Beth Wall. During my first visit she sat with me for over an hour and had this huge bag of food that she gave me - taking each item out and explaining to me all about the food i can/can't have. She was actually the most helpful, in my opinion. I would recommend the dietician absolutely. have you already been diagnosed??

Is this doctor for you or for your child?? there is supposed to be this excellent doctor at U of C- one of the leading doctors in the USA for celiac - but he will only see children. We have tried to get into him - but it won't happen. Kids only.

Is there anything else i can answer for you??
