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!

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
