Doctor In Twin Cities

Does anyone have a recommendation for a doctor in the Twin Cities area?

I self-diagnosed and have been living gluten- and corn- free since 1989, but have gotten worse in recent years. Now I can't tolerate soy or eggs and am reacting to trace amounts of gluten that didn't used to bother me.

Orignally, I consulted a family doc, an internist and a gastroenterologist all of whom misdiagnosed me. I figured it out on my own in a medical library. (It was pre-Internet.) I recently consulted a nutritionisst who sounded like she understood the issue, but her recommendations just made me worse.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi,

I see Lucinda Conroy with Minnesota Gastro Interology at the Maplewood location. She is excellent and I love her. My husband has Chron's disease and seen Arnold Caplain at the Plymouth office. Good luck!

I go to Dr Ronda Stellar in Shoreview. She's a GP, but she actually knows what celiac is and tests all her women who have infertility issues for celiac. She's a great GP because I'm never going to get the evil "are you sure you have celiac" look from her.

Does anyone have any reviews from the GI(s?) at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester?

I am also looking for a great GI in the Twin Cities (preferably Minneapolis) to help me figure out how to proceed with all the testing I've had, and all my inconclusive results, and how to tie it all together. Has anyone had a lot of trouble tying together their results and their symptoms and found a great GI who will walk through steps with you, and knows how to explain Celiac's in a personable manner? As you can see by my signature, I'm having a frustrating time of it, and I need a GI who can "hold my hand" while I find out what my footing should be.

Thanks

Dr. Joseph Murray is fantastic - try to schedule an appointment with him. In any case, make sure you get a GI and not a GP - the GPs at Mayo are hit and miss.

There is a very active ROCK group in the Twin Cities area - I bet they would have some opinions on GIs if you contact them or attend a meeting. I was diagnosed before I moved to the area and therefore know nothing about the GIs here.

      Curious question

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was...

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
