I do not know one but I do want to watch responses due to the fact I live only an hour east of KC and would like to find one also. My general PCP is great but said that I should probably find someone who is a specialst in this area. Good luck and welcome to the area.

Right now I'm temporarily living in Johnson Co. and have yet to find a gastroenterologist as I self-diagnosed (I'm a DC, NMD, MSTCM, CMT). I'm sure you could find out some good info from some of the members of the local CSA chapter. Open Original Shared Link

The local chapter of CSA for KC meets on Sunday, April 26th at 2PM. We meet at St. Joseph's Hospital, building D- Community Center auditorium. If you want to attend, here's the exact address so you can plug it in to your GPS or mapquest.

St. Joseph Health Center, 1000 Carondelet Drive , Kansas City , Missouri 64114 . (near I-435 and State Line) Community Center (Building D), Alex George Auditorium.

I don't have a celiac doctor and have not been officially diagnosed, but with great results from the diet, I would not go back to eating gluten, dairy, or soy. My mother-in-law is a diagnosed celiac by blood test and biopsy. Her doctor is Dr. Buser (in Kansas City). She said he is very knowledgeable about celiac and she would definitely recommend him. I don't have a phone number now, but if you are interested let me know and I can find that out from her.

      As Plumbago mentioned, bleeding in the upper end of the GI track tends not to show up as bright red in color because it gets acted upon by the digestion process and more thoroughly mixed in with food residues that are passing through the intestines.

      @Bronwyn W Working with your medical provider, you could do a complete blood count test. If you were bleeding say from an ulcer in the stomach (and let's hope not), your red blood cells could be low and your hemoglobin low as well. Your stools may show up as the proverbial "dark and tarry," indicative of a bleeding site further away from the anus. Basically, you may be anemic. Your heart may be beating extra fast as a way to compensate for the decreased number of blood cells, your oxygen saturation may be lower than normal on a pulse oximeter, and so on. But talk to your doctor.

      Thank you for this insight. I have had rectal bleeding after glutening and subsequent constipation (+ IBS-C) and always attributed it to internal hemorrhoids (diagnosed). What I wasn't aware of is the possibility of bleeding further up the digestive tract. Please can you elaborate on the causes and symptoms to watch for?

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!
