I was on the Clan Thompson Celiac Website and they had a few Docs listed under Ask the Doctor...

And this one was from Atlanta...Other than what is below I don't know of him personally...

Dr. Jeffery Lewis received his undergraduate degree from Emory and graduated from Wake Forest University Medical School in 1989. From 1992-95 he was a fellow in gastroenterology at Harvard Medical School while training at Children's Hospital of Boston and the Massachusetts General Hospital - two of the highest rated teaching hospitals in the world. He stayed an additional year as a faculty member at Harvard in order to further enhance his research and clinical skills before returning to his native city of Atlanta, Georgia in 1996. He has been with the Children's Center for Digestive Healthcare, LLC since its inception in 1999.

Dr. Lewis has a special interest in a variety of pediatric gastrointestinal disorders, including celiac disease. His projects have examined treatment of Hepatitis B, acid reflux, and autism. He currently is conducting research on eosinophilic esophagitis and the role of reflux in severe asthma. He has received private and National Institutes of Health funding for his work and has presented his research at national conferences and published in high quality medical journals.

Dr. Lewis founded the only chapter of R.O.C.K. - Raising Our Celiac Kids - in Georgia. After just two years, there are almost a hundred families in the Georgia chapter. To learn more, send an email to celiacgroup@ccdhc.org.

He is a fellow of The American Academy of Pediatrics and has served on several committees. Dr. Lewis has also served on a number of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Committees and is very active in the community as an advocate for children's health. He is currently the chief of gastroenterology for Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. He is an active member of the North American Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition and is board certified in pediatrics and gastroenterology. When he's not hard at work for his patients or research, he likes to travel, play baseball or soccer with his kids, and spend time with his wife.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      So I purchased the Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine along with the Thiamax. I will take along with my Super B Complexes. I stopped taking the multi vitamins. Should I take all 3 vitamins/supplements together with my morning oatmeal breakfast? Do you think I will experience any bad symptoms when taking them.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
