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!

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certaining fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
