Hi all, anyone know of a good Pediatric GI in Oklahoma City? I would like to have both my girls tested by a Pediatric GI knowledgeable in Celiacs.

Thanks!

Hi,

My 12-year old daughter tested positive by blood for celiac disease last week. We live in Tulsa and were referred to Drs. Hallabee, DeShawn and Donnovan at 838-4823. This pediatric gastro practice treats all of the celiacs from our pediatrician's office. Unfortuately we haven't been in to see these doctors yet so I can't tell you anything about them.

If you can't find a ped. gatro. in OKC, it maybe worthwhile for you to come to Tulsa. Another benefit for you in coming to Tulsa would be to shop at our Wild Oats store. If you haven't been before, they have a huge selection of gluten-free products. We were shocked today when we first shopped for gluten-free food. They have gluten-free cookie, pizza and bread dough mixes, different types of gluten-free flours and many of their regular items like salsas and sauces marked as gluten-free. We still read all of the labels to be certain but it did make shopping so much easier.

I have always been a health food nut so cooking for a celiac will be a few refinements for us. The hard part is eating out! I was pleasantly surprised today when I asked a waiter in a small restaurant it they allowed substitutions -- MAJOR ones. :) He did so, very kindly.

Did you ever find a Ped GI in OKC?

I am a bit biased, but would highly recommend my mom - Dr. Marilyn G. Porter (www.pediatric-gi.com) as an excellent Ped GI in OKC. You could also consider the Ped GIs at Children's Hospital.

Good luck in your quest.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
