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.

      Take it easy! I was just prompting you for some clarification.  In the distillation process, the liquid is boiled and the vapor descends up a tube and condenses into another container as it cools. What people are saying is that the gluten molecules are too large and heavy to travel up with the vapor and so get left behind in the original liquid solution. Therefore, the condensate should be free of gluten, no matter if there was gluten in the original solution. The explanation contained in the second sentence I quoted from your post would not seem to square with the physics of the distillation process. Unless, that is, I misunderstood what you were trying to explain.

      No they do not contradict each other. Just like frying oil can be cross contaminated even though the oil doesn't contain the luten protein. The same is the same for a distilled vinegar or spirit which originally came from a gluten source. Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean you can tell me that my sentences contradict each other. Do you have a PhD in biochemistry or friends that do and access to a lab?  If not, saying you don't understand is one thing anything else can be dangerous to others.

      The reason that it triggers your dermatitis herpetiformis but not your celiac disease is because you aren't completely intolerant to gluten. The celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis genes are both on the same chronometer. Dermatitis herpetoformus reacts to gluten even if there's a small amount of cross contamination while celiac gene may be able to tolerate a some gluten or cross contamination. It just depends on the sensitivity of the gene.

      @Mynx, you say, "The reason this is believed is because the gluten protein molecule is too big to pass through the distillation process. Unfortunately, the liquid ie vinegar is cross contaminated because the gluten protein had been in the liquid prior to distillation process." I guess I misunderstand what you are trying to say but the statements in those two sentences seem to contradict one another.

      It isn't a conjecture. I have gotten glitened from having some distilled white vinegar as a test. When I talked to some of my scientists friends, they confirmed that for a mall percentage of people, distilled white vinegar is a problem. The cross contamination isn't from wheat glue in a cask. While yhe gluten protein is too large to pass through the distillation process, after the distillation process, the vinegar is still cross contaminated. Please don't dismiss or disregard the small group of people who are 100^ gluten intolerant by saying things are conjecture. Just because you haven't done thr research or aren't as sensitive to gluten doesn't mean that everyone is like you.
