Hi-

I'm looking for celiac/GI doctors in the Sacramento, CA area.

Any ideas? Also, any thoughts on allergists in that area too?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I am looking for a doctor in Sacramento too.

I have a homeopathic, he is really great. He has an allergist on his team.

Health Associates Medical Group 916)489-4400 / 800)675-4515

You can actually call, and talk to him between 8am and 9am.

He really believes strongly in the "Eat Right for your Type"

4 blood types, 4 diets, it is really an amazing book.

Thanks, Nancy! I appreciate you posting, especially since I hadn't heard anything since I wrote this

almost 3 months ago! Do you live in Sacramento too?

Good luck with your search. I did find a good GI doctor (Dr. Al-juburi with UC Davis medical group)

who didn't diagnose celiac, but completely believes that I'm intolerant to gluten, & is very supportive

of my doing what I need to dietary-wise to feel better.

Thanks again,

Martha

I'm looking for a general practitioner/family doctor in Roseville or Sacramento who will be supportive of my gluten-free diet at the very least, or, if I'm really lucky, experienced in treating patients with celiac. Any suggestions?

I really like my primary care physician, Dr. Victor Baquero. He's with the UC Davis Medical Group

in Folsom (916-985-9300). I've gone to him several times with concerns that he took very seriously, & he made sure my insurance covered tests for celiac/gluten intolerance without any hesitation.

When I've gone to him with research I've found, such as the work Enterolab has done, he was very interested in the information, & supportive of my decisions to go gluten-free even though I don't have "official" celiac. I do recommend him, & will continue going to him for my healthcare needs.

Good luck!

There's a new one at UC Davis, I'll have to check up on the name.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I...

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but...

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for...
