Hello all. I am curious if anyone knows of a good, knowledgeable doctor in the Central Ohio area? I have Celiac and leaky gut/candida like symptoms, but every doctor i see won't take me seriously because i have never had a biopsy done. I went gluten free almost two years ago due to my family doctor saying i was positive for Celiac through a blood test, only later to find out my results were "borderline". I'm hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction to help me find a doctor that will take my symptoms seriously, despite my lack of an official diagnosis.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bridges.

I know of a doctor at OSU that is an expert in Celiac. He has classes, seminars etc. He also takes patients. He was very highly recommended by my rheumatologist, I am just north of you. As you probably know OSU is a teaching hospital complex so they stay extremely current with there services.

Just go to the OSU Medical Centers Site and search for Dr. Ackerman.

Good luck to you and I hope this information is helpful for you.

Is Dr. Ackerman still at OSU? I'm not finding one on the website, just an anesthesia doctor.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
