Does anyone know of a good registered dietician around Portland, Oregon that specializes in celiac disease?

If you are looking for an RD, I would be sure to see someone who has expertise in this area. Some dietitians are members of Dietetic Practice Groups. There is a sub-specialty of the Medical Nutrition Practice Group called Dietitians in Gluten Intolerance Disease. The American Dietetic Association has a referral service for locating RDs.

You can type in your zip code and search for RDs by specialty. You can select both Digestive Disorders and Gastrointestinal Diseases/Disorders to find someone who will be most likely to have specialized knowlege in celiac disease. Most of the RDs who participate in this referral service are in private practice, so you may find that they will take extra time to find resources for you, etc than if you just make an appointment with the local hospital dietitian. Most hospital RDs tend to be generalists, unless they work for very large teaching hospitals where they may work in one specialty area. In any case, when you find an RD, call them first to assess their level of experience in counseling patients with celiac disease.

      It's normal for the pee to turn yellow when taking large doses of B vitamins, particularly riboflavin (B2). That doesn't mean they are building up in the kidneys. It means the excess is being excreted. The B vitamins are water soluble.

      Because since the vitamins are not absorbed due to the inflammation shown by high levels of tTg IGA levels,it will just cause buildup or the kidney will get tired .I already take vitamins and I could see them in my pee the next 4 minutes I don't feel like vitamins are well absorbed I took vitamin b 12 , magnesium and other things and my test results are normal but still not high considering I have been taking them now for almost 3 years .i think there is no point in taking them now since there is a high inflammation I should wait more until maybe I could start to absorb something I already took IV infusion for iron because it by pass the gut due to the poor absorbtion already .

      Welcome to the forum, @Kimmy88! Most toothpastes are actually gluten-free. Most meds are gluten free. There are lists available for most prescription meds to determine if they contain gluten as an intentional ingredient. Google. Remember, "gluten free" does not mean "contains no gluten" it just means it contains less than a certain parts per million of gluten, in the USA that's < than 20 ppm for food items. For meds it may not be the same standard. And for generic meds, you would need to contact manufacturers. Pharmacies can give you contact info. Trace amounts from cross contamination may not be an issue unless you are in the subset of super sensitive celiacs.
