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!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
