Hello everyone first off thank God for this site and forum. My problems all started about 3.5 months ago and its been a nightmare of course. Was pushed off by several practitions and even a few ER trips as acid reflux. Anyways my new family doctor did some test a week ago and seems to really think its Celiac. Wants me to go to a specialist so I'm hoping to find who is celiac savy. I live about 30 minutes south of Huntsville and about an hour from Birmingham. I really dont have a preference just need HELP! I have already swapped to gluten-free diet still having problems but of course everytime I turn around I find something else that is gluten like toothpaste/mouthwash. So I'm researching like crazy and working real hard on getting gluten-free. Of course in my small town about the only thing I can find is the gluten-free chex cereals and the rice milk stuff but odly enough those seem the best for me now. I made a trip to huntsville and grabbed several gluten-free products but some have not done to well for me, but just trying one new every other day or so...

Docs has had me on sucralfate, nexium, and dicyclomine.... I go back tomorrow for a check up so i really hope to find a suggestion for a Celiac savy specialist....thanks so much for all the help

I haven't seen these doctors, but I have heard that they are good for celiac. They are at St. Vincent's in Birmingham. Open Original Shared Link

I think they are all ok.

BTW, do NOT go to St. Vincent's East.

I hope this help :)

I live in Birmingham and didn't have much luck with a doctor here but I have been seeing Dr. Cynthia Rudert in Atlanta and really like her. Good luck, I think it is hit and miss with most doctors.

Not necessarily in alabama,,, but... Did you try phoning Dr Block for a consultation in Tulsa, Oklahoma? He's very experienced with celiac disease and the gluten free diet...

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
