Looking For The Closest Pediatric Celiac Specialist To Tulsa

Hi! We live near Tulsa. My 9 year old was diagnosed last April by Dr. Donovan - the ONLY pediatric GI in Tulsa. He is a very nice man but we're not meshing and he is definitely NOT a celiac specialist. Does anyone know of a pediatric celiac specialist near Oklahoma? We're trying out another pediatric GI in OKC next week, but his bio doesn't even mention celiac and I'm at the point I want to take her to someone that eats, breathes, and sleeps celiac. The only pediatric specialists I'm finding are in San Diego, Chicago, New York and Philly. Any additional info would be helpful.

Thanks so much!

Dr. Donovan is the only peds GI in Tulsa. What kinds of problems are you having? What are you needing? Monitoring, diet advice?

I love Dr. Marilyn Steele at the OU children's medical center. I am sure there are other good GI ped doctor's at that center. Dr. Steele and her nurses took such amazing care of my son, does not treat me like I am crazy, listens to the mom, and she is awesome.

We live in SE Kansas, and we drive to see her. I was not a fan of Dr. DaShawn who is Donovan's partner. I promise you she is worth the wait and the drive. good luck, She is your a great choice!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
