Just wondering if anyone has any experience with Dr. Richard Mones at Goreyb Children's Hospital in Morristown NJ. He was referrred to us. My son has tested strong positve for celiacs (twice) and has diabetes. Looking for an experienced doctor who has treated celiac patients.

Dr. Zalman Schrader and Dr. Lawrence Stein were also given to by VoteforBusho4 (thanks!) and they accept my insurance but I'd love to hear any personal comments on these doctors as well. I'd like to get it right the first time! Thanks!

Thank you.

I hadn't found that section of this site so thanks again. I had some names but did not realize they had been recommended by celiacs.

I saw Dr Zalman Schrader about 4-5 years ago. I was loosing a lot of weight and had diarhea all the time. I felt so sick and someone referred me to him.

I really liked him and his bedside manner. I was referred to him by my allergy drs nurse. She thought I had Giardia because she had it and he diagnosed it.

When I went to see him....I was 89 lbs and feeling awful. He never mentioned celiac or gluten. He thought I had giardia and put me on Flagyl and took a stool test. The stool test was negative and I never felt better after taking the Flagyl. The problem has been ongoing for years. I moved out of NJ right after that so I never returned to him. I never had an endoscpoy by him either. Maybe if we did one then I would have a diagnosis now.

So, here I am back in NJ and I would probably go to him becasue I liked him but I decided to go to the Celiac experts and make the ride into NYC yesterday. I met with one of Dr Green's associates and she seemed pretty informed. Her name is Dr. Susie Lee. I am having an endoscopy on Fri but not sure how helpful it will be as I have been attempting gluten-free for the past 4 months. She suggested a Gluten challenge but there was no way I would eat gluten for 2 weeks........

Let's wait and see what friday brings. Either way, I am not going back to gluten but have to try to get better. I'll have to plan my next step after friday.

Good luck,

Sorry - a bt late on this. Dr. Richard MOnes is my son's gastroenterologist and he is WONDERFUL!!! He's fantastic with children and very knowledgable about Celiac Disease. My son is a puzzle because he had high blood tests on two occasions, but a negative biopsy. He took more blood and sent it to a lab in Buffalo that is more "sensitive" which came back negative. We're right now on the tail end of a year long trial diet. He has been so helpful trying to help figure out what is going on here and will not release us until he is 100% sure that we do not need him. I woudl recomend him to anyone :)

After talking with some people in this area, I made an appt. with Dr. Rosh at Goreyb Morristown Hospital (same group as Mones - so thanks for the feedback!) . My son's endoscopy is scheduled for this Friday. I also made an appt at Columbia Presbeterian with the Dr. Levy. I will likely get a second opinion from Dr. Levy. He seemed agreeable to reviewing our blood test results and the endoscopy slides. I had the opportunity to listen to Dr. Green and Dr. Levy at the celiac's conference recently. They were wonderful and I would encourage anyone who has the opportunity to learn from them to do so.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      I'm 5'2" so it's weight I could afford to lose. I guess what's concerning is that it's not on purpose, I haven't been active because I don't have much energy, and it's been steadily going down since I started keeping track of it. So I'm not too worried about where I'm at right now, but it's something I'm keeping an eye on.

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to test for and then referred me to the GI specialist when the results came back positive. They also found a large gallstone, which was causing me pain in the pit of my stomach, so I had my gallbladder removed in march. The pain is gone but otherwise everything else, the tightness and sensitivity and lack of appetite remains an issue, and I'm still losing weight. I was around 200 lb in december, right now I'm 152 lb.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of autoimmune conditions. You need to also understand that the degree and number of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and symptomology depends on a number of factors. For instance: 1. How many "celiac genes" are involved? Homozygous or heterozygous? and which genes? DQ2?, DQ8? or both? 2. How long ago was the onset of the celiac disease? How long has it been acting on the body? 10 months or 10 years? That will make a huge difference. 3. How much gluten has the person been accustomed to consuming since onset of celiac disease? The more they consume, the more damage you would expect. 4. What is the age of the person? Younger people have bodies that are more resilient than older people and can fight against disease more effectively. 5. What other health conditions is their immune system being tasked to deal with? 6. What is their general state of vigor? Some people just have stronger constitutions than others.

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake!  yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state.    @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream!  I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of packaging. Maybe it’s always been there but obviously since my blood tests I’ve noticed.  I really hoped I would find someone who like me was sick a few weeks prior to getting their  TTG test and it was raised for a viral reason, or it’s a “fluke” or something else.
