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.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
