We Need A Pedi Gi In Or Around Omaha, Ne

If anyone has any recommendations for a pedi GI in or around Omaha, Nebraska I'd be so thankful! We saw a new doc in town yesterday and he was AWEFUL! I figured if he was at Children's Hopsital he'd have to at least be willing to listen, but boy was I wrong.

Must be a Nebraska thing, I get the same thing out here at the other edge of our little state.... seriously thinking about a trip to denver for a few days!

I'm in Denver and we saw the GI docs at Children's here and *loved* them. We actually worked with a physician's assistant, Stephanie Petersburg. She was extremely thorough and left no door unopened while we were diagnosing DD. Also, the dietitian (can't remember her name) is an expert in Celiacs and often speaks to the Denver Celiac support group.

Stephanie,

Here is a link to the Celiac Sprue Association, which is headquartered in Omaha: Open Original Shared Link

It appears that they are affiliated with the University of Nebraska Medical Center. They have a Dr. Frederick Pausiton (can't remember that I spelled it right) on their Medical Advisory Board, from the University. I would think his office would be the place to start.

Good luck.

Did you see Dr. Attard? I've heard great things about him. Who did you end up seeing? We've seen Prestridge (yuck), Zapata (doable, but not the best), and Antonson (very stuck on himself and MSPI). There aren't many good options for ped GIs.

I just moved from there and would also recommend Dr. Attard. I didn't see him myself but have heard nothing but wonderful things about him with relation to children with MSPI. I also saw Prestredge and would have to say "stay away" b/c she doesn't listen to her patients.

Hey, the peach, is that you Jennifer? :)

I'm guessing you have found someone by now but we saw Dr. Kunnath at Children's Hospital and he is WONDERFUL! He is relatively new (and young) but came highly recommended by our pediatrician who was a colleague of his. He was great. He diagnosed our daughter (3 years old) and his staff has been excelent. I would highly recommend. Hope this helps!

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone.  Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult.  Nutritional deficiencies result.  Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly.  Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed.   Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine.  OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse.  Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together.   I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself.   Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31490017/   Role of B vitamins, thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865694/   The Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11987730/

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.
