Good day,

Please can you help me by referring me to a reliable source of well experienced gastroenterologists who specialize in celiac disease and associated symptoms? 

 

Kind regards,

Where do you live?  Most gastroenterologists are pretty familiar with diagnosing and treating celiac disease nowadays. (but I'm in NY City area-- may not be the same everywhere).

Thank you for your response,

I was hoping see a specialist who can assist with the diagnosing the plethora of symptoms that I am experiencing (may or may not be associatedwith Celiac). I will be travelling to LA in the end of July. I live in South Africa. 

Kind regards, 

Bronwyn

Just to clarify so that you get the information you need: is that LA meaning Los Angeles?  Because LA is also the state code for Louisiana.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
