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,

~Brenda

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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
