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.

      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 The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one.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.

      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.
