Anyone know of Doc in CT that I could see for a second opinion.

I have two biopsies, first positive stain for celiac disease. The second, neg stain for celiac disease but mild atrophy of the villi. Two sets fo bloodwork came back negative.

My current GI does not think I have celiac disease, he maybe right but, I really want some else to look at everything i.e. test results and family hx.

I thought any atrophy of the villi was celiac ... you might just be happy about your doc's refusal to diagnose even though your tests show it because then there will never be a question about a pre-existing condition with an insurance company. This isn't one of those diseases that requires prescription medication, so you can do it without a doc.

I agree, but I guess I want to make sure that something else is not going on i.e. some other sort of GI problem.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
