Northern California Doctors

Hi, I'm new to the site and am looking for suggestions regarding doctors in Northern California (Sacramento area preferably, or San Francisco Bay area). I searched the archives and the only name I saw come up was Jeffrey Aron in San Francisco. So, he is on my list as a possibility. Has anyone else had (or heard of) a good experience with a doc in this region? I'm at the beginning of the process, suspicious of a few symptoms, and want to work with someone who, from the beginning, will take seriously the possibility that they might add up to celiac disease. I also would like it to be someone who has guided others through the testing in a reasonable way. Thanks for any thoughts!

I am assuming it is a family practitioner that you are looking for? My daughter sees a pediatic GI specialist named Dr. Yinka Davies. She has an office in Sacramento and Roseville with Sutter Medical Group. I am sure she could get you in touch with a family Dr. that is also familiar with testing. She has gotten us in touch with a few families that also have been recently diagnosed, and I know she attended a conference in Washington last year on the subject. She seems to have a lot of insight and have a lot of contacts. Just an idea! Good luck!

You might want to get in touch with a local support group - I know there is one in Carmichael, maybe Sacramento too. I live in Chico - a little farther away than I'd want to drive for a support group so I haven't gone. But they might have recommendations...

Hello! I'm newly celiac diagnosed (3/05), have an AWESOME gastroenterologist here in Grass Valley...........Dr. Aslam Godil, phone (530) 273-3377. He's very thorough and a good listener. Good luck!

Good to know! I may check in with him. The one GI in Chico is a hard ass (from what I've heard) and doesn't believe anything is a problem with anyone unless they are dying. I have no desire to waste money on that. I also heard he is fairly insulting. Don't know firsthand but that's enough to make me not care to persue the elusive appointment with him...

Does anyone have personal experience with the celiac clinic at Stanford? I love my family practice doctor in San Francisco, but I think I need to talk with a specialist.

      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/
