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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
