Hi guys,

I just moved to San Antonio a few months ago and I'm newly diagnosed. The doctor who diagnosed me didn't want to do a biopsy or tell me anything about the disease so I went to a gastroenterologist instead. But now that I have all of the diagnosis stuff out of the way I am really just looking for a good doctor who has some knowledge about the disease and will actually spend some time talking to me and listening to what is wrong. All my life I've had doctors who just run in and out of the room and that's why I was told my stomach problems were stress for 6 years. So if anyone has suggestions please let me know!

Thanks!

I live in San Antonio and highly recommend Dr. Franz Zurita at 210 615-8308. He is also the medical advisor for the Alamo Celiac support group in San Antonio. Check the website at www.alamoceliac.org to find out about membership information and other local resources. For places you can eat, click on Defensive Dining page and scroll down past Austin to San Antonio.

You will find San Antonio to be a very celiac friendly place to live.

      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/
