Looking For A Celiac Dr. In Orlando, Fl Area

Hey, any good celiac disease Doctors in the Orlando, Fl area????

We also have a Dr. that we've been going to for years with all the health problems that my husband has had. He's been diagnose with IBS, Reflux Desease and all sorts of things. A friend of ours is the one that clued us in on celiac disease as possible problem. My husband has been gluten-free for 4months now without the Docotor's help. He's also been off Priolosec for about 2 months. No wander the Insurance Companies or Doctor's doesn't recognize celiac disease, because once you do the lifestyle change diet, then you stay healthy, then drug companies and Doctor's don't make there money on you, when you have to keep coming back over and over again for tests and drugs. It's a round robin that keeps the drug companies rich.

Now the Life Insurance should recognize celiac disease, because when you are on a gluten-free diet, then you have a better chance of staying healthy and less chance of something happening to you with other related problems. In the long run, I would think it would save them money. At least that's my thought.

Hello,

I too, live in Orlando and have been avoiding going to any support groups or doctors. Kind of just muddling through on my own.

Just wanted to check with you if you have a found a good Dr. as of yet?

My best to you and your husband.

Thanks.

I live in Cocoa Beach and am in the process of finding a GI too, so I can't help you there. I am seeing a new one locally on Monday and am in the process of being referred to Shands in Gainesville, FL.

But here is the website for our support group. We have an excellent leader and all around group.

I'm sure he will know of a support group in Orlando who could tell you which doctor to see. If not, come over to our group. We meet February 11th at 1pm ... And we are having a pot luck dinner / gluten-free beer tasting party ...

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
