Nyc Nutritionist For Celiac

Hi,

Since being diagnosed I have pretty much put myself on an extremely restricted diet. It seems like all I eat anymore is eggs, fish, yogurt and cheese since I know those are safe. I need to vary my diet a bit without having to worry about getting sick. I have actually been losing weight which in my case is not actually a good thing since I am already thin. I thought a Nutritionist would help but I need to make sure they are familiar with Celiac since it'll be kind of pointless if they don't. Can anyone help?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the nutritionist I was going to the first half of this year had an office in NY as well as down here in central jersey... she's actually up at her office in NY (Staten Island it looks like from her business card) every day but one during the week.. her son was diagnosed with celiac disease so she's familiar with it and she's fairly knowledgable about a lot you see discussed on this board (candida, adrenal fatigue, food intolerances, etc.)...

it may be a bit pricey to see her but that's probably the case for most nutritionists as insurance frequently doesn't cover it (and only the first visit costs a lot due to an evaluation she does of your health for which she provides an extensive document analyzing your situation and providing a gameplan), but it's worth it to at least give the office a call and set up a free consultation... personally, although I'm still trying to figure some things out, I did find it beneficial going to her earlier this year and learned a lot from it.. I also plan on going back again soon enough after getting a food intolerance test done with immunolabs... also, she's very good at getting back to you either through email or by phone

her information is:

Dr. Adria Rothfeld-Magenheim

Anne Lee at Columbia. They have a special center for celiac there, and she is a nutritionist that specializes in it.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
