I was wondering if anyone is from Boston, and knows of a good doctor to go to that specializes in celiac disease and gastric disorders. I moved from Cape Cod about 6 months ago-but havent' really been feeling good for about a year now. I went to a GI on the Cape, but he was terrible. There are some great hospitals in Boston-but I just don't know whose the best. Thank you!

Yes If you would like to send me PM i can give you my GI name, He is at Mount Auburn Hospital (they are a great affiliation) in Cambridge, he found my celiac disease just after going to see him once, he said lets do the blood test cause he found it in my mom a few years prior. He told me that he has been seeing more and more patients now that have celiac disease. (and I work for a health insurance carrier in this area, so Im very open to a lot of options)

Hi there

I saw dr leffler today. he was pretty good. already knew my case history from last dr which was good, he said he was very familiaer with my case. he asked all the usual quesions about how i was feeling, normal stools, diet, weight etc... he said i should get the bone density test this winter ( year after diagnoses) then his supervising dr came in and checked me as well and asked me a few questions. i think he was good, i mean i loved the dr i had before so its hard because anyone was going to dissapint me compared to the guy i had before but he moved to rhode island and thats to far!

hope this helps but i think anyone at beth israle celiac center would be good!

Sounds like you had a good appointment. I have heard a lot of good things about Beth Israel and I feel like I will have the opposite experience as you-my other doctor was so bad, I don't think anyone could be any worse!

I see Dr. Catherine Cheney at Beth Israel and I absolutely LOVE her!!!!!!!!!!! I have had nothing but good experiences there....I had to wait 6 months to be seens as a new patient, but I'll tell you. It was worth the wait.

She is an amazing doctor and their Celiac nutrionist Melinda dennis is nationally known. Phenomenal gastroenterology department.

I just moved from Boston but the Doc that figured me out is an OB/GYN affiliated with Mt. Auburn.

Also, Beth Isreal just opened a Celiac Center (I'm pretty sure is was BI)

Good luck and let us know what happens

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
