Looking for a renal dietitian experienced with both IgAN and celiac disease in Bergen County, New Jersey?

While I can't provide specific dietitian recommendations in your area, here's how to find the right specialist:

Where to search:
- Contact local nephrology practices or kidney centers in Bergen County and ask for dietitian referrals
- Ask your nephrologist for recommendations of dietitians who work with their IgAN patients
- Check with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' "Find an Expert" tool and filter for renal specialists
- Contact major hospitals in Bergen County (like Hackensack University Medical Center) and inquire about their renal nutrition services

What to look for:
- Board certification in renal nutrition (CSR credential)
- Experience managing both kidney disease and celiac disease
- Familiarity with gluten-free, kidney-friendly meal planning

Managing both conditions requires careful attention to sodium, protein, and potentially potassium and phosphorus levels while avoiding gluten. A dietitian experienced with both conditions can help you navigate foods that are safe for celiac disease while supporting kidney health.

Your nephrologist's office is often the best starting point, as they typically work closely with renal dietitians who understand the complexities of IgAN.
