Hi, Jeanette

I don't know if this helps you, but I go to Dr. Sandy in Vincennes for my celiac. There are some other doctors in the complex but don't know if any are pediatric.

Eliana was evaluated through First Steps and they recommended that she see a Pediatric GI and an ENT. I know there are none in Dubois county. I will have to drive to either Indy or Evansville. She has eating issues among possibly Celiac but I know it's more then her reflux. The doctor needs to take Hoosier Healthwise as well. Thank you!

I use Dr. Bhandari with IMA in Bloomington. Him and my son's pediatrition seem knowledgeable about celiac disease. However, I did not take my son in for a biopsy - his blood test was negative and we just watch the food he eats. He can still eat gluten. So, I don't know that he would be considered a pediatric GI doc.

The celiac disease people in B-town that I know all used Bhandari but I know other non-celiac disease people that prefer Dr. Ghosh.

Good luck - you probably will find a better assortment in Evansville or you might try Riley at IUPUI. And, I have found, you can sometimes get in a little faster using the hospitals at IUPUI in Indy. The docs at Riley are really great.

Thanks. That's what I figured that the docs at Riley's were better. I'm not originally from IN so it's hard for me to find doctors and such. It's even harder when you have to find someone that takes Hoosier Healthwise but I think my best bet is Riley's at this point.

Thanks for the links on my way there now!

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.
