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!

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
