Opinions Please: What Do You Think Of This Doctor?

The owner of a local health food store recently told me about this doctor who is in my area. She is a naturopath who had her training mainly in France. She is not licensed as an ND in the US.

I have been looking at her website and I am intrigued. She has a lot of information on her website, including this article on Celiac/gluten intolerance.

Can you guys please review what she is saying and tell me: do you think she'd be a good person to go and see? I am looking for someone to help me manage my apparent gluten intolerance, my Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (I'll still see an MD for thyroid meds, though), and other things. Should I be concerned that she is not licensed in the US or in California?

Except for the fact that her description of current celiac testing is outdated, the rest of her information seems on the up-and-up. She has very pertinent knowledge of the basis of gluten sensitivity and how to alleviate the condition. I would definitely consult with this particular doctor if she practiced close enough to my locale. I live in California but not close enough to consult with her. I think you might be able to trust this doctor.

BTW, I learned a thing or two from her site. I didn't know that teff might contain gluten--this explains why I and my fellow attendees at a celiac conference in Seattle a few years back broke out in Dermatitis Herpetiformis after teff wraps were served to us at lunchtime. However, I just did some quick research, and, apparently, I'm hearing that teff is considered gluten free. Hmmmmm....perhaps it's actually a gray area? All I know is that I don't intend to eat teff ever again.

      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.

      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.
