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.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By RMJ · Posted

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.
