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!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
