Need A New Doctor In Ct

It has been suggested by several members that I look for a new doctor to get a proper diagnosis. I recently had an endoscopy done and tested positve for celiac sprues; however, bloodwork was negative. My current doctor says its only a gluten allergy and not celiac. From what I have read and what members have written, I believe it is celiac. I am looking for a second opinion but can't seem to locate anyone who might specialize in this area in the state of CT. Does anyone have any names?

Thanks for your help.

Kathleen,

I don't know of any Doctors in your area, but I will post a local link to support groups in your area.

If either blood work or through endo/biopsy you test positive for Celiac...that is a diagnosis. Both tests can very inaccurate. You do have Celiac. Do you have your pathology report back from your endoscopy? That should tell you the findings and diagnosis/comments.

Your best source of information is right here on Celiac.com.

Hi Kathleen, any luck with finding a doctor? My doctor gave me the names of three GI doctors who he says are good, but I would prefer to go directly to a doctor who has specific experience with Celiac disease (also, I wasn't happy with another specialist he's sent me to). I'm not sure how to find that information out without an office visit.

If you haven't had success, yet, I can give you the names of the one's I have (all three are in the same office in Trumbull).

I've used the same gastroenterlogist in the Bridgeport area for the last 15 years. If you contact me directly, I can give you his name and number.

I went to a urgent care for treatment of the injury. I told the doctor I had experienced pain and inflamation in my leg while doing a particular move on a climbing road. The Doctor had a ct taken of the shoulder. The ct doctor had the ct machine set to high so the 1st ct was to over exsposed, the 2nd ct was still a little over exposed but they used it to evaluate the injury.

Would you be able to share the names of the doctors you're seeing in Trumbull? I'm newly diagnosed and live in the area. Thanks!

      I agree, and generally it means that it isn't working in a high enough percentage of participants to continue pursuing it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill
