Can anyone recommend a general MD practice in Orange County California? I've been to all the internal medicine docs but I just need a general MD for the day-to-day care that also understands Celiac Disease.

Can anyone recommend a general MD practice in Orange County California? I've been to all the internal medicine docs but I just need a general MD for the day-to-day care that also understands Celiac Disease.

I see Dr. Andrew Mleynek. 714-845-5900. He's in HB, corner of Beach and Yorktown. Beach Family Doctors, they have a website, but I cant recall the IP.

He's an Osteopathic Doctor. I switched to him about 6 months ago, because none of my doctors understood Celiac at all. He is very knowledgeable, and I love him. It was so nice to not have a doc suggest that I am a hypochondriac or worse. Haven't ever left his office in tears. He is wonderful.

Warning: I sent a friend from this site to him. She agreed he was very knowledgeable about Celiac, but had a very negative experience with him and thought that he was rude. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what, but I have not personally had any issues with him.

I would suggest having only 1-2 issues per visit. He accepts HMO's :)

Good luck, if you have any more questions, just ask:)

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      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/
