Neurologist W/ At Least One Celiac Patient

Hello. I am new. I don't know if I have much to contribute but I do have the easiest gluten-free bread recipe ever and I have had a great experience with an oral surgeon in the Chicago area if anyone is looking for these things.

Foodiegirl I have seen a few nutritionists around here but can't recommend one in terms of expertise on gluten sensitivity or celiac disease (sorry)! Also I was never referred to a GI... skipped that part & did antibody test.

I am hoping to find a neurologist in the Chicago area who has seen MRI's of brains affected by gluten. Want to make sure all the tests my neurologist ordered are the right ones. I called U of I and I guess the Celiac Disease Center is mostly for kids and there is no neurologist who reports gluten as an interest.

Thank you!

Rush University Medical Center Adult Celiac Disease program. I haven't seen any of the recommended doctors yet. This program helps to coordinate care for people with Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity as well. They help you get referred to all the right specialists. Maybe someone would like to know about this.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
