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!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
