Newly Diagnosed, Looking For An Md In Slc, Utah

Hi everyone!

I was just diagnosed with DH after having this misdiagnosed rash for almost 5 years now. It disappeared while I was pregnant and came back postpartum with a vengence, until I finally decided I needed to see another doctor about it, because I was convinced that it was not just eczema like a previous MD had said. I did a little research of my own before going to the doctor and found some info about DH that perfectly described what I was suffering through. So in short, I went in to a walk-in clinic up in Calgary, Canada and insisted on a skin biopsy and the blood work to test for Celiac. It all came back positive, so here I am, newly gluten-free without much of a support group. Anyhow, I am only in Canada temporarily, I'm staying with family here while my husband is in Iraq, and I will be headed back to SLC soon and I really need a doctor in that area who will be open and willing to work this through with me. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! TIA!

Some great gastroenterologists would be Dr. Dan Jackson and Dr. Janet Harnsberger. I go to a great Naturopathic doctor named Dr. Todd Cameron. Good luck!

Dr Jackson and Dr Harnsberger are both fantastic, however they are pediatricians.

Dr Ann Richards on 2000 S. 900 E. in SLC knows celiac disease.

These names are great to start with. Let's hope a few more surface here, I am also transitioning to gluten-free in the SLC area and am having a hard time finding doctors who get it.

A few months back at the SL GIG meeting a Dr. Karnam (I think that was how you spelled it) from the Provo area spoke to the group. He seemed extremely knowledgeable about Celiac disease. I live in the SLC area and thought about driving down to see him, haven't done it yet.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Wondering if anyone knows whether Lindt chocolate balls are gluten free. The Lindt Canadian website says yes but the Lindt USA website says no. The information is a bit confusing.

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Even though my brother almost died in his 40s because of coeliac disease, no one ever told family members that we should be tested. As a result, I was almost 70 years old when an orthopaedic doctor suggested that I be tested for coeliac disease. My count was greater than 250. I had loved my bread, baking, especially pies and was never sick, but did not absorb...

      CT with contrast.

      I didn’t know there were different types of CT. I’m not sure which I had. It just said CT scan with contrast.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared. I highly recommend the two shot shingles vaccine as soon as your turn 50--I did this because I started to get the same tingling sensations in the same area, and after the vaccines I've never felt that again.  As you likely know, shingles is caused by chicken pox, which was once though of as one of those harmless childhood viruses that everyone should catch in the wild--little did they know that it can stay in your nervous system for your entire life, and cause major issues as you age.
