Does anyone know of a doctor familiar with celiac disease in Colorado? I'd also like him to be able to deal with multiple food intolerances.

TIA,

I have found a great doctor in Denver--unfortuneately he is a pediatric gastroenterologist. (my 2 yearold is having an endoscopy this week and will probably be diagnosed with celiac disease) So unless you are under 18, he won't see you, but I'm sure he or his office could refer you to an adult gastroenterologist that they work with. When you get a name of a gastroenterologist, call and speak with a nurse and ask how many patient's with celiac disease he/she treats and look for someone with a lot of patients in his care.

Good Luck!

You can call the Denver South Metro Gastroenterology. They have two offices: Skyridge Hospital in Lone Tree and near Swedish Medical in Denver.

I just visited the Skyridge office last week for the first time. There are at least half-dozen doctors in the office. I went for the consult referral (my prime doc sent me) and within two days the endoscopy and bone density tests were done. I've been advised to start GL; the final test results will be here in a few days. In the meantime, I'm a newbie to the Web site. Looks like I have a lot of learning to do!

I suppose I'm "holding out" for this final test (I've already done the blood & allergy tests) before I go GL. Oh, I am not looking forward to it at all! I enjoy everything about food: eating, cooking, the conversations, new experiences, everything! So, I'll allow my taste buds to enjoy the next few days before I go GL.

      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 The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one.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.

      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.
