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.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
