So I'll start it off, I guess. I have worked with
so many doctors and other providers over the years
while trying to track down several diagnoses. The
latest one is Dr. Travis Miller that works at
Capital Allergy and Respiratory Disease Center
(locations in Sac, Folsom, and Roseville;
http://www.capitalallergy.com/ on the web). I've
only had one visit with Dr. Miller so far, but
thought he was very on top of testing and Celiac
disease. I also go to Linda Clark at Universal
Wellness Associates (
http://www.universalwellnessassociates.com/ )for
nutrition and homeopathic treatment---be warned
that insurance does not cover her services,
however. Another doctor I would recommend for
fibromyalgia is Dr. Michael Powell (
http://www.fmtlc.com/index.html ) . For
acupuncture, I go to Wendy Stedeford (
http://www.wendystedeford.net/ ) but I should
disclose that I am also friends with her (and
designed her website). El Dorado Physical Therapy
also has a fantastic staff at all their locations,
if you ever have need of their skills.

and Roseville, was educated in England, tests his
type-1 diabetic patients once a year for celiac,
and is "awesome" per the mom who mentioned him to

Accommodating Dr.'s
I'd like to add a Dr. to your list...Dr. Susan
Johnson, in Colfax. She is a Pediatrician, with
a large emphasis on Anthroposophy. I found her

U C Davis clinic doctors
With disclaimer that everyone needs to do their
own homework before choosing a doctor
recommended by others: Dr. Jeffrey Applebaum,
MD is my general practitioner who is more
familiar with Celiac Disease than any Doctor I
have had in the past. He has advised me that he
has several patients with Celiac Disease and was
responsible for having afamily's 2 out of 3
children diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Very
pleasant doctor to deal with. Cares about my
health. Dr. Amar Al-Juburi, MD - Assistant
Clinical Professor , Gastroenterology is very
pleasant and very patient, sits back and takes
the time to talk to you. Talks in detail about
Celiac Disease and in dealing with it. He works
2 days a week at the Folsom clinic (the clinic I
go to, located at 251 Turnpike Drive Folsom
95630) and 3 days a week at the downtown U C
Davis facility. Hope this helps others. Dan

newly diagnosed with Celiac.

Dermatologist to diagnose DH
A patient reports a very positive experience
with Dr. Barnett in Tracy. He recognized her
rash as probable DH, took a "proper" sample for
biopsy, and explained both the test results and
her choices regarding dapsone vs. the gluten-
free diet.
|
Holistic Medicine
I've received a lot of positive feedback
regarding Dr. Mark Holthouse, Center for
Functional and Integrative Medicine in Cameron
Park. Mark Holthouse is a traditional family
M.D. who has effectively incorporated
comprehensive holistic training into his medical
practice. He specializes in autoimmune disorders
and chronic disease prevention, many of which are
related to gluten and dairy intolerance. Dr.
Holthouse believes in treating patients from a
preventative standpoint, as opposed to waiting
until traditional test results prove there is
extensive damage and symptoms have become
severe.
