I accidentally found out I have a problem with gluten when I stopped eating gluten in June, it was a misunderstanding following an allergist appointment... but, long story short, I have had a tremendous turn around in my health (migraine free for five months, lost fifteen pounds, sleep through the night, and much much more). My current physician hasn't been much help, she just says keep up the good work, and I either have a wheat allergy, but most likely Celiac Disease, that's it... sigh... So, now that I'm relocating I thought it was a perfect time to find a Celaic friendly general practitioner, and to make it even more difficult, it would be really cool if it was a woman doctor.

Thanks for the help!

Hey...I wish I could help you. I go to school in Elmira, but I've never seen a GI there. I saw an endocrinologist who was pretty good, but that's all. I'd imagine that there are some GI docs up in Corning, in Elmira associated with Arnot Ogden Medical Center or maybe in Sayre, PA. Let me know if you've come up with anything!!

I was actually just diagnosed November 27th, by Dr. Weiner at Corning Guthrie Internal Medicine. I went in on my Thanksgiving Break from school, and found out the following week. When I went in, he was extremely concerned about finding a name for my problem, and after the blood tests came back, he diagnosed me with Celiacs. As I go to school in Pittsburgh, I had to wait a few weeks, and I have an appointment in Elmira next week for my endoscopy, so we will see how this works out. Since my insurance does not cover the cost of a nutritionist, I have been doing the majority of the research on my own. I would suggest calling Corning Guthrie, and Internal Medicine and ask who deals with Celiacs disease. I can suggest Dr. Malavat, a wonderful doctor, but he is male. I will let you know if I hear any more and it will be interesting to see who I will begin seeing as my PCP for this disease.

Hello Mel,

There is a great holistic medical doctor in Athens, PA (Sayre area). Her name is Dr. Barbara Harvey.

She is celiac herself and is a wonderful doctor of functional medicine. She is a real gem. Her office phone number is 570-888-8886.

I have known her for over 10 years.

I hope this helps you. Sincerely, Doris Doheny, Doctor of Chiropractic

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
