Dr Gautum Reddyin Valley Stream NY on Sunrise Highway. He also has a office in Middle Village Queens. I have been going to him for 8 years for GERD and he diagnosed me right away 3 years ago for my Celiac Disease when I first started to having the really bad gluten reactions.

Dr. Corina Serer in Massapequa. Seems to be very knowledgeable. Had no GI symptoms, but was anemic and had osteoporosis. She put 2 and 2 together and sent me for endoscopy and bloodwork. Good luck finding a doc you like.

I have been seeing Dr. Serer for 3 years now. In the beginning I really liked her. Now she seems to busy. She likes to blame every GI symptom on Celiac when it could be something else. I'm now looking for a second opinion out of this practice. I also saw Dr. Pearlman in this group, he hasn't got a clue about Celiac. He said I was "cured" because my blood work is now normal. Go figure.

There must be some doctors with celiac knowledge at Stony Brook. Our celiac support group was saying there is talk that Stony Brook is thinking about starting up a Celiac Center like Columbia University has. Wouldn't that be wonderful? I can't help you with a doctor though. My doctor has no problem believing I am celiac, but he has very little knowledge about celiac. For now, it seems the best doctors are at Columbia, but there is a waiting list to be seen, that isn't good!

i saw dr. kohlrosser/lobo in babylon and they were clueless. they told me that the endo came back negative and that i cant have a gluten allergy/celiac. that being gluten free is expensive and tough.

      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.
