Nutritionist On Long Island?


Random-Guy

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I know there's more than a few Long Islanders here. Do any of you know of a nutritionist who knows celiac really well? I've been gluten-free for a few years, and I thought I had the whole diet down, but I'm having some issues that are making me refocus and reeducate myself. I think a nutritionist can help, but only one who really knows celiac well.

Give me a good referral and I'll buy you a gluten-free pizza

thanks

Hi, Random Guy.

Although I never ended up seeing a nutritionist, I was looking for one when I was first diagnosed. Here are 2 names that were recommended to me:

Cathy Ficalora in North Babylon

Linda Fiverson in Woodbury

I believe both of them have experience with Celiac Disease.

Good Luck!

They had a very good Celiac nutritionist at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, whom I saw a few years ago, but she left. I don't know if they have hired a replacement, but it's worth checking out. If they do not have somebody, maybe they could give you a recommendation. Good luck.

I have been to see Linda twice. She is a weight loss counselor who uses the gluten-free diet for her clients to loose weight. She sells great prpackaged meals that are all gluten-free. She has some knowledge of Celiac.

She suffers from colitis herself.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!
