Need Pediatric Gastro In Atlanta Region

I'm having a very hard time finding a good Pediatric Gastro in my area. Can anyone recommend a good kids gastro in the Atlanta region? I'm willing to drive some distance if people can recommend from their personal experiences.

My 4 yr old is having some new problems so I need a dr to do a new evaluation on what might be going on.

Thanks!

I highly recommend Dr. Jeffery Lewis at Children's Center for Digestive Health Care across the street from Scottish Rite Hospital. Dr. Lewis is the best there is for pediatric celiac disease. He founded the local chapter of ROCK (Raising Our Celiac Kids). Very dedicated, smart and friendly.

Good Luck!

I will highly recommend Children's Center for Digestive HealthCare.

(affectionatly known as GI Care 4 kids) We use Dr. Stanley Cohen there, but I think all their doctors are good. They're located right across the street from Scottish Rite in Atlanta. They have been wonderful. My son was diagnosed Feb. 2009.

They have a R.O.C.K. Chapter that started out of that doctor's office, (Raising Our Celiac Kids).

Their number is 404-257-0799.

Thanks everyone. I'll see if I can get her in to one of them and get a better answer to her issues.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
