I am looking for a nurtionist/dietian in the chicagoland area that can really help me plan meals and stick to my gluten free diet. I have a hard time sticking to the diet and thats mostly because I cant really plan well. I want to find someone who can help me create a meal plan as well as someone who can help me determine what to eat to lose weight as well. Anyone know of a doctor in the chicagoland area they can recommend?

You might try Park Ridge Multi-Med. It is located in uptown Park Ridge. The entire staff is amazing. Dr Berndtson is so caring and thorough. He has a great sense of humor too. He has worked wonders for me. I have Hashimoto's and severe gluten intolerance. He has 2 dieticians in his office as well as accupuncture and chiropractor services. The office manager, Mary, is incredible. Everyone knows you by name. It is a very calm and relaxing experience, even through the hard stuff.

The practice offers a gluten free support group, we meet on Tuesday nights and there is a facebook page and a facebook discussion forum for the support group.

I can add the address and phone info when I return home tonight. I'm at the office at the moment.

Good luck in your endeavors. Hope you find a doctor that you love, I sure have.

Thanks for the information. Im going to look them up and see if I can get a appointment. I work up in Deerfield so Park Ridge is not far at all. I would love to be able to go to a gluten free support group and talk about all the symptoms I have. I would love to see if others are having the same problems.

Thanks!!!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
