After reading several things he has written, he seems like a very knowledgeable doctor. I was just wondering if anyone had been to him for help with their celiac/gluten sensitivity.

Don't know him personally. He is a frequent diner at one of my restaurants. The Colorado Springs Celiac support group leader, Val goes to him and absolutely loves him! The only problem is the year waiting list to see him! He does have other staff members that work directly with him if you want to get in sooner.

I went to him a few months ago after seeing a GI in Denver who didn't know much about Celiac. Dr. Lewey was great. He talked to me for about 1/2 hour about Celiac and answered all my questions. He never seemed rushed. If you live in Colorado, I would highly recommend him. I think he only sees Celiac patients and his wife also has Celiac so he is very up to date on all of the research. His children have tested negative but he thinks they are gluten sensitive so the whole family is gluten free. He gets it....and he thinks out of the box. It only took me a few months to get in but I had already been diagnosed. They told me that if someone needed a biopsy they would try to get them in in a week.

If you decide to go to him, let me know what you think :)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
