13 Month Old How To Search Out Gastro Doc?

My 13 month old son has had belly issues since birth.  He was on hypoallergenic formula (allimentum) and did fine until solids intorduced.  He was cranky and spent may sleep deprived night with restless ness and belly cramping.  I have kept him pretty much gluten free but I am not keeping a gluten free house.  I finally got the ped to agree to refer to gastro after trials of wheat and so on.... Well after one horrible night after wheat cereal (he was much improved the next day) I feel that is enough.  We see the ped in may and then will be referred to a gastro.  After all the horror stories how can I be sure that the gastro will take us seriously?  My son in not small and not underweight. ( 50% height and 50 to 75 % for weight.)  My husband is very anti- celiac or non gluten sensitivity so I do want some one else to say Hey its true!  Also how long must a person be "glutened" for testing?  what should I ask for testing wise and so on?  He is also somwhat lactose intolerant and definately soy intolerant.  My 9 year old daughter is allergic to soy milk(night in er)  Should I wait to test untill he is older and keep him gluten free untill then?  I hate to make him suffer for a test that may or may not be accurate. 

Thanks,

Becky

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
