My 6 yr old is having a horrible time with her skin and constipation. Her skin is all broken out, she scratches it until it bleeds and now she has this bad body odor. We can not seem to find a knowledgeable doctor in our area. We are willing to go anywhere for help. We live in Portland Oregon. Anyone know of a doc near us or that specializes in children.

Doernbecher Children's Hospital has some great doctors.

This is my son's pediatric gastroenterologist, Dr. Terry:

This is his pediatrician. She is great and really takes the concerns of parents seriously. Her name is Tara Schwab.

My kids see Dr. William Marshall at Emmanual Children's and we really like him.

Their pediatrician is Kelvin Snyder with Sunset Pediatrics. He's great as well. He diagnosed my dd right away, didn't make me feel like I was making up her symptoms.

Thanks, I have been recommended Dr Terry from another doc, so will call on Monday. We have been on the run around for some time and my daughter is struggling. Something is wrong with her and the only dx I have so far is Celiacs. We have been strictly gluten free for 5 months with little change. Her skin is absolutely awful. She is having a difficult time dealing with it, not to mention the constipation. Any help will be welcomed.

Dr. Terry is great! She's also recommended by GIG. ;) If you think something else is going on with your kiddo, try going to the pediatrician I listed. She has no problems referring you to a specialist. I was concerned about my son's growth and she was more than willing to refer him to an endocrinologist. (In the end, we did not do that because his rate of growth has been increasing.) She takes your concerns seriously, which is enormously important.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary...

      Am I celiac or not?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.

      I have posted a lot on here and find that the support , advice and information here is much more helpful than anything else.. ever. I am really tired of the back and forth advice in the medical community and I am beyond frustrated and over all of it currently. I will try to keep this as brief as possible. I have positive TTG IGA antibodies - and I have had these every time I have been tested. The first time they were positive I was told I did not have celiac and couldn't have celiac but I was gluten intolerant and to go gluten free. I did this for about 3-4 months, dedicated I might add, and I did feel better. However, my blood glucose went up drastically and since I was already pre-diabetic...

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      No, I have not been checked for any other deficiencies or issues. No one will check these things since my EGD looked normal and there was no damage. I recently saw my gastro doc and it is just frustrating. I have diabetes, which is basically uncontrolled, and I keep being told, stop eating gluten free, because the gluten free diet is contributing to my diabetes worsening. Then I am told oh just eat gluten free and you can go on insulin, which I don't feel like is a good answer either. So I end up eating gluten because they tell me it's okay or that I should bc of my diabetes. I am so sick today - physically mentally emotionally - just tired of this roller coaster ride.  I am open  for any realistic...
