I posted this question to a celiac listserv this summer and these GIs were recommended: Dr. John Polio in Hartford (three people highly recommended him), Dr. Sapounas (described as "awesome"),

Dr. Donna Cipolla in Wethersfield and Manchester, 643-3054 ("One of the most

competent on celiac I know of") and Dr. Ted Loewenethal (he was recommended by a woman who is both a doctor herself and a celiac patient. She said he is very competent, compassionate, and takes time to listen to his patients.) I had a very negative experience with a GI in Hartford and plan to switch to one of those who were recommended to me. Best of luck!

I am from the milford area, but my GI doc's main office is in Hamden. Gastoenterology Center of CT. Her name is Dr Latha Aliparthi. It's quite a large practice, but she was recommended to me for my original problem of GERD/gastritis. She found the Celiac by accident! This was probably my problem for a long time! She has done my Endoscopys, etc. She is very knowlegable/thurough and great bedside manner. You do not feel rushed. The initial visit interview is done by her physicaian assistant Sheila, but then the 2 of them will review your case, in front of you and spend the time to entertain your questions. Being emplyed in the medical field myself, it was nice to deal with a doc and PA who were willing to spend the time with you. I don't know if you are near Hamden, but it's another option. Good Luck!

I'm looking for a doctor in central CT that is good for Celiac issues. I saw the posts from Liz in CT and gooddawg315 in September 2006, and those sound like great suggestions:

I am from the milford area, but my GI doc's main office is in Hamden. Gastoenterology Center of CT. Her name is Dr Latha Aliparthi. ...She is very knowlegable/thurough and great bedside manner. You do not feel rushed...

However, I'm trying to help a family member who is very hesitant about seeing doctors, and I'd like to get some more information that could help convince him to see one of them. Does anyone have any more information about a good doctor in central CT? Some sorts of things that might be helpful are:

  • --Types of things the doctor recommended
    --Success stories, improvements in health, etc.
    --More about bedside manner, etc.

I'd be very grateful for any information you can provide.

      Is this celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      But you didn't answer my question. When you consume gluten, is there an identifiable reaction within a short period of time, say a few hours?

      You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am only wondering why you would need to cut out rice? I've never heard of rice being any issue in those with DH.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      My mother has celiac disease and was diagnosed with Afib around 8 months ago. She's 81 and around 2 months ago had ablation therapy done, which is a very common procedure to treat this, and has been out of Afib 95% of the time since then. Apparently the full effects of this treatment don't kick in for 90 days, so the doctors expect her recovery to possibly reach 100%. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review
