part of mary bridge children's health center. awesome doc. after going to another doc here for my daughter who is dealing with fructose malabsorption, I switched to him and got way more answers and way more proactive care.

My son will be going to him to finish the confirmation of celiac disease. just a great doc!

Dr. Wataru Tamura in Oro Valley, Arizona. He's part of Foothills Gatroenterology.

He's a bit quirky, but seems nice, thorough, and extremely knowledgable about celiac disease. I went to see him after my first GI doc. said, essentially, 'you have celiac. Here's a nutritionist to tell you what to eat. bye.'

Dr. Tamura, on the other hand, started immediately talking about the fact that people with celiac disease can have food intolerances, vitamin deficiences, allergies, and other issues, so we should be checking me out for these right away to get me as healthy as possible.

Considering that I - who have never had a known allergic reaction to food before - had an anaphylactic reaction to 'something' the same day I went in for blood tests for allergies, I'm very glad I'm with Dr. Tamura now and not my first doctor!

Does this Doctor work with kids? My daughter is 10 years old and was diagnosed by Dr. Hasan, But I'm not really satisfied with him.

I secong this one! She also now practices in Marlette, Michigan a day a week, not sure which day.

She is good with celiac because her whole family has it. However, she doesn't use enterolab for testing and she had my boys tested and they came back negative and going with symptoms I am sure they have at least gluten sensitivity. I have active gluten sensitivity and it runs rampant in my husbands family. They also have eosinophilic esphogitis. But, I think if I have it done she would accept it as a diagnosis.

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I am hoping that someone can help me. I have recently decided to move to the northwest part of ohio. I moved from Pittsburgh, Pa. I can not drive the 6 hours to get to my doc back home that was excellent with celiac. Is there any chance that anyone knows of a doc that has some knowledge of celiac in the toledo, fort wayne, lima area? I would appreciate any information anyone has. I have tried so many doctors in this area and it seems that I know more than they do and I'm tired of having to tell them what is what and what to do rather than them knowing. :(

Thanks

HI, our adult son diagnosed a year ago (silent symptoms) recently moved to Pittsburgh PA. Who did you see as a doctor when you lived there. Pittsburgh Celiacs don't seem to say much. I phoned UPMC and girl tried to put me onto asthma and allergy doctors. Then I asked for GI and she said digestive disorders drs, gave me some names, phoned a week ago and no replies. So wouldn't bother going to them anyway. he is very good about following gluten-free diet and can cook, but he still needs to see someone to see healing, any deficiencies, nutrition etc. We live in NH so it is difficult. Plus can you recommend any restaurants that you know genuinely do gluten-free. gluten-free registry lists some supposedly gluten-free places, but when you check menus and comments, they don't seem at all consistent. thanks.

Hi Kathy - you see Dr. Serano too. Yes they are helpful and caring. Do you know if there are any care groups for celiac around Fayetteville?

Ohio

For you people in Ohio --- you have several gluten-free groups available to you.. Childrens hospital of Columbus has great resourses for gluten-free. Mary Kay Sharrett is the gluten-free dietician & she can put you on to doctors who understand celiac & gluten intolerance.

The GIG (gluten intolerance group) has a branch in Canton... I think there may be a CSA group as well....

Who did you see in Pittsburgh? Our son recently moved to Pittsburgh and we are trying to find a celiac dr. for him. University of Pittsburgh was useless.

Have you checked out your local celiac group? That's how I ended up finally finding a celiac friendly doc where I am.

I had found a link for the group in your area here:

My children and I have all been diagnosed with celiacs and some with gluten intolerances within the past 3 years. I am looking for a good doctor in the South Jersey area or Philadelphia who understand the disease and can help us.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
