Need New Pediatric Doc In Detroit Area

Hi Everyone,

Dr. William Belknap has passed away and now we need to find another KNOWLEDGEABLE pediatric gastroenterologist in the Detroit area. Preferably in the Beaumont Hospital system, but I will switch primary care providers if I have to. My 16 yr old was just diagnosed a year ago and he saved her life, because she had strange neurological symptoms, not gastro symptoms. All other doctors just shook their heads and passed us along the chain of doctors. I don't know who to try, because I know Dr. Belknap worked closely with Dr. Green at Columbia and had all the latest info. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Elizabeth Becker

Mom to Kiera, 16 yrs old

I've inky lived in the area 5 yrs, so not very well versed in doctors here. But I have a GI I would highly recommend. He's not specifically a pediatric GI, but I bet he would have some great recommendations. He's also not in the Beaumont system. He's in the Providence system. His name is Dr. Mark Devore. Best wishes.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
