Hi, my daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease in March and since then we have moved from Oregon to Texas. I was finally able to find a Ped GI and get an appointment scheduled for her with Dr. Anderson at the Children's Medical Center in Dallas. Has anyone been there or specifically seen Dr. Anderson? This will be the first follow up appointment we have been able to do with her.

Thanks,

Michelle

Children's Medical Center in Dallas is suppose to be good. My sister works at Cook Children's in Fort Worth which I know is really good. There is a good celiac disease support group in the area. I have never been, but they meet at one of the hospitals in Dallas every month.

Dallas is also where Dr. Kenneth Fine lives who has Celiac himself and runs enterolabs. If that helps at all.

Michelle, I would stay away from Dr. Anderson. He has been seeing my son, and now he is in Foster care! :angry: My son was not following his diet, as a result was getting sick. Of course everyone blamed us, the parents, because he had been in the hospital twice in a 3 month period. Never mind the fact that he went almost 4 years without a hospitalization. In that 4 year period, he did not have any central lines, or get any TPN, or Total Parental Nutrition, which he said was necessary for his survival, just following his diet to the best of our ability.

As soon as he got hospitalized in February, they put a central line back in, and he has now been back in the hospital 5 times for infections or illness, 3 of those times while in the care of the foster parents. We are having another hearing October 10, trying to find some way to get our son back. No one believes that this doctor has lied about us, or that he might actually not know what he's talking about!

I'm sorry, you got me on a rampage, but please, steer clear of Dr. Anderson!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      PPI's can be a wonderful healing agent when used as prescribed on the label which I believe recommends use of up to 8 weeks. But they are like antibiotics in that they are overprescribed and undermonitored. Docs generally prescribe them and then keep prescribing them because they take care of immediate symptoms so well. Physicians are more into treating symptoms than uncovering causes.
