Looking For Celiac Dr. In Minneapolis Area

Hello:

I was recently diagnosed with Celiac, through a routine screening of family members. (My 6.5 year old was diagnosed two months ago.) My endo showed inflamed, flat lining with "no villi present". My internal medicine Doctor does not appear to understand Celiac, and I am concerned that I will not receive proper follow up care to ensure that I am responding to gluten-free. I am 44, and feel that I have had Celiac all of my life. I want to be assured that I do not have refractory sprue, etc. Does anyone know a good doctor in the twin cities that I can consult with for follow up care?

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I can't help you with any doctors, but I do have a suggestion. Does your 6 1/2 yo see a specialist? Maybe they can recommend someone for you.

I may have a recommendation for you by the end of the day for a primary care doctor who understands celiac disease. My DIL is in medical school at Mayo, and she shadowed a doctor in the area who has celiac disease herself. I'm just not sure if she was a primary care doctor or not. I'll let you know soon as I find out.

Well, the doctor is in Family Medicine but she is Rochester...Margaret Gill, MD

But, my DIL is going to ask around about someone in the cities. Are you looking for a primary care doc who "knows" celiac, or a gastroenterologist ?

Also, you may want to check with a local support group... celiacs recommending celiac doctors probably give the most trustworthy recommendations. I always get a little nervous about doctors recommending doctors....unless they really know them. I know Margaret Gill is very knowledgeable because my DIL talked with her and Dr. Gill has celiac disease, but unfortunately she's not in the cities.

Thanks so much for your response and for checking with your daughter. I would really like a primary care doctor who understands Celiac. I have experienced a myriad of related ailments over the years looking back, and of course, no one "connected the dots". However, now that I have a diagnosis, I would like someone who understands the importance of routine follow up testing, etc. I had to request a bone density test from my current internal medicine doctor. I feel he should have known to do that in light of the recently discovered fact that I have been living with undiagnosed Celiac for 44 years. Any assistance your daughter can provide in finding a primary care doctor would be appreciated.

I'll also check out the support groups. Thanks so much!

I have a couple of suggestions in the Twin Cities. Dr. Karen Krenik is an internal medicine specialist in Edina--not sure of the group. She is very aware of the celiac disease.

I work at Allina Clinic in Champlin--I am an Nurse Practitioner in family practice, and have DH (gluten free x 6.5 years), my daughter has celiac (8 yo--diagnosed one year ago). I work in Family Practice. We also have a pediatrician at our clinic who has DH--Andrea Spandl. Because 2 of our providers at the clinic are gluten free/celiac/DH, all of our providers are pretty aware of the disease. Dr. Catherine Reed, at Southlake Pediatrics, at Children's west is another pediatrician who has family connection to celiac disease and is especially sensitive.

hope this helps.

If he's in network for your insurance I would go see Dr. Joseph Murray at the Mayo Clinic. Just saw him last week and he was excellent. He's doing a lot of cutting edge Celiac research right now.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
