We are relocating soon to Denver Metro area and will be needing to fine good medical help. I am obviously gluten free but through a naturpath and she has been a godsend. Also I have had good pain docs - Osteopath/MD to manage and other specialists like accupuncture healing work and a doc that does injections/neurotomies for spinal issues. If you have had success with your doc and would care to share that would be great! I prefer medical docs that are holistic open minded and keeps up on knowledge. I believe we know our own bodies and taking charge of our own health is very important. I respect the doc but it should be a team effort and they must be good listeners or it leads to misdiagnosis which is what I've been through more than once! Thank you for any of your sharing. :D

Hey! I live in Denver and currently am not super happy with my Dr. However, I did get this recommendation from one of the leaders of the local CSA group: "The best gastroenterologist that I know, is Dr. Nuzhat Iqbal, she is located at the Longmont Clinic. Her phone number is 720-494-3123. Nuzhat is one of the most knowledgeable physicians I've ever met with regard to celiac disease. Additionally, she is a very warm person. Everyone who has ever gone to her raves about her. When she first came to this area, she contacted CSA to find out who she could work with locally. She is also the medical advisor for our local support group. I hope this gives you enough information."

But, she' not covered under my insurance right now.

Also, you might want to check out the celiac groups in the area:

thanks Erin I will keep that in mind. Is it helpful having a support group? Are there meetings or? I have never been part of a support group so I am wondering how it might be. If you hear of any other good docs in the other areas i would appreciate any names thanks!

I have been told it is really helpful to have the support group. I have been able to attend only one meeting (I am a full time grad student and my classes are in the evenings!) However, at the one I did attend they had a guest speaker I found it quite informational.

I'm sorry...I really don't have any other Dr recommendations for you.

I looked up that doctor mentioned above and my insurance says he is a man. That makes me wonder if the speaker actually did meet the dr, since he is referred to as a woman several times in the quote! I will be relocating to the denver area soon, so I was hoping to find a doctor familiar with celiac.

Good Morning,

Here is a link to the Denver Celiac Chapter's physician page, hopefully it will help. I've not personally seen any of them, since I have Kaiser and have to go to their docs. If you happen to have Kaiser, I'd highly recommend Dr. Stark at the Franklin facility downtown Denver.

Relocating is hard. Fortunately there are tons of good gluten free food options in the area. Let us know where you end up.

Cheers!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
