There are wonderful GI doctors who specialize in celiac disease at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Drive an hour, it'd be worth it. One of the leading researchers in the field is located there. Also, there is a Gluten-Free Cupboard grocery store and a Good Food Store in Rochester, both have a wide variety of gluten-free products.

I ditto the suggestion of Mayo because they have a renowned specialist there. I think his name is Dr. Murray At the very least, you could call and ask them for a referral to a good celiac doctor in the cities. Oh - If you do go to Rochester, be sure and check out that Gluten Free Cupboard the previous poster mentioned. They are just a little teeny store, but they have absolutely everything.

Not a celiac specialist, but my GP is great if you're looking for a yearly doc who won't give you the evil eye when you mention you have celiac and will know what to look for. I go to Ronda Stellar at the Shoreview Medical Clinic. She says whenever she gets someone who's having trouble getting pregnant, she'll test them for celiac. She's also been to several talks about it so she' pretty knowledgeable and realizes there's more to it than the stereotypical symptoms.

This is not about a doc but if you live in the twin cities, there is a great grocery store called Fresh and Natural. There is one in Shorview and one in Bloomingtom. They have tons of gluten-free foods, seminars, even cooking class. It puts both Trader Joe's and Whole Foods to shame. Also there are two great gluten-free bakeries in Mnpls and Eagan. Both have foods at Fresh and Natural!!!!

MN Gastroenterologists is a group of doctors that practice around the Twin Cities. I am new to Celiac but when in the hospital, this group saw me and are the ones who recommended the endoscopy when I did not have symptoms typical of Celiac. Don't yet know how good they are but am also thinking of driving down to Mayo and having them take a look at everything as a second opinion. Good luck.

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
