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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
