I am looking for GI doctors specializing in DH/celiac in Virginia. My family doctor and dermatologist both suggested I get a GI w/u for suspected DH/celiac. So far, I've only found Dr. Sheila Crowe in VA. However, the first available appointment isn't until the end of July. Her office gave the option of seeing a Physicians' Assistant (specializing in celiac)...getting in a month sooner.

Not sure what to do?? Get in ealier with the PA or wait to see Dr. Crowe? Or, are there any other MD's in VA specializing in celiac that I should check with?

I googled Dr. Crowe, and I recommend you do, too. Summary of her presentation to the Charlottesvilli Celiac Support Group can be found here:

If I were you, I'd call them back first thing in the morning and schedule with her PA (physician's assistant) at the next available opening. The PA should be able to take your history and get the ball rolling with all the necessary lab work you will need to begin diagnosis. If you need to see Dr. Crowe, they will be able to arrange that, probably sooner if your labs come back strong for celiac.

From what is on the internet, she looks like a gem. Please let us know about your decision and your experience with her.

Great advise! :) Get the lab work started.

      Not validated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      After waisted time of new care team, yet again EXHAUSTED saw new gi today in Modesto, though all my ailments im not getting any kind of concern of me being celiac and sentive to just about everything since menopause. Dr daid why don't I go see you guys because my blood shows zero for celiac. I told him im glutenfree since 1994 by colonoscopy with biopsy positive celiac sprue by GI.Its RIDICULOUS when im bringing in material from this site of knowledge as well as the autoimmune institute,and  there's zero interest on their part.Medical IS causing me depression.Im view as a disability chaser, IM STILL RECOVERING from being a bus driver that im still healing and having more issues, now I may have multiple sclerosis or meningioma. Ive reached out, wrote letters, NOT feeling well. This is inhumane.

      New issue

      I was taking medicine for sibo but it was not agreeing with my stomach at all.Was on gabapentin but it amps me up.I was taking in morning because it wasn't allowing me to sleep.This has always been an issue with medicine and me.Even going to dentist, the good shot that numbs you once, I can't take because it makes my heart beat fast and I  get the shakes.I have to take the crappy stuff and get injected always more than 4 times always.Its infuriating

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I showed one doctor I went to once because completely clueless of celiac disease and yes that one was connected to a well known hospital and she said oh thats just a bunch of people that think they are celiac coming together. I said um no they have doctors and knowledge behind what is being written. So bay area is Downplaying this site! SADLY

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      By RMJ · Posted

      If you successfully digest gluten with enzyme supplements so it won’t give you side effects, your challenge won’t be worthwhile because the digested fragments of gluten also won’t stimulate antibody production or cause intestinal damage.
