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!!!

      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/
