Kind Pediatric Doctor In Anchorage?

Hi, Just found this site and thought I would ask my question. Does anyone know a decent pediatrician in Anchorage? My two kids have some sort of gluten problem--I have never gotten to fully test them, except for the blood test because of a horrible experience with our pediatric clinic (they pretty much laughed at me, told me I had healthy kids, and stomach problems were normal at times of growing up, etc. etc. ) I ended up taking my kids to an ND, who was been truly amazing. We took the kids off gluten, and the improvements have been just amazing. So really, for now, I don't really care that they did not have a full work-up, because the benefits are clearly visible, even to the other people.

Now, I suspect something is wrong with my step-daughter. She is constantly zoned out, constantly eats--she can't help herself and even sneaks food at night, but she does not gain weight. She has extreme difficulty focusing and paying attention/concentrating and is constantly thursty. Due to our difficult family relations, I cannot take her to an alternative doctor, and really dont want to even think about our pediatrician. Does anybody know a decent one in Anchorage? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
