I Found A Knowledgeable Pediatrician

I took my 9 yr old son to a Pediatric Endocrinologist today. He's also a Primary Care Ped. My son was dx'd Celiac last fall, but now has hypothyroid.

So, we went to see him today, and I told him he is Celiac for the history. He looked at his labs and indicated that he needs to have his antibodies tested for Hashimotos. Hallelujah- a doctor who understands that autoimmune issues go hand in hand.

He asked about what other labs he has had done, and all he's had is the Celiac panel, ferritin, B12 and TSH and Free T4. Since my son's been having some periods of major food binging, he ordered a full vitamin, nutrient workup! With no yelling, pleading or begging.

Wow. Never thought I would get so excited about a doctor that knew his stuff. I feel like I scored a big one today!

For anyone who needs a PED, it's Dr. William Holm on Avocado Ave., Newport Beach. Right next to Fashion Island, so you can go get a gluten free cupcake at Sprinkles when you're done :D

I'm very happy to read this! It sounds like you are in good hands and he'll get to the bottom of it. Mom to mom, I know this is a HUGE relief! :D

To his good health!

Thanks, TH. He seems great. And he's not really worried about his thyroid at this point. But, he ordered the antibodies, just to be on the safe side. <breathing a sigh of relief> :D

That's great Janie! My ped is pretty knowledgable too so far. I think I'll post her on a thread too.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
