Anyone familure with Children's Hospital Pediatric Gastroenterology PC in Knoxville, TN? I do have a name of a pedi Gi in another town that is in network with my insurance but want to cover all bases. This group is not in network so I would have to pay more out of pocket, but if anyone in their group comes highly recommended then it may be worth it.

hi wow are you in east tennessee?!! i live in harriman :) children's hospital is highly recommended - i don't personally know about their pediatric GI, but our grandson had to have hernia surgery when he was about 18 months old and their pediatric urilogy group is awesome. lol in fact the dr we had is on my short list of "if i ever divorce my husband i'm checking to see if he's taken" :D anyway, they were very thorough and their only focus is on children. my GI is in oak ridge at mmc - ruth montalvo - and she is *awesome* - the doctors at oak ridge are good, too. two of my grandbabies were born there and one was born at UT and we liked methodist much better :)

ps - if you need a good place to eat that didn't wreck my world, try cafe 4 @ market square. they were awesome and knew not to cc thing :)

I'm leaning on this group in Knoxville. They are affiliated with Children's Hospital there. Hopefully we can get some answers for my oldest son. Irregardless of any results I will be trialing him gluten free when we are done with testing. Really the only thing left to do is the scope/biopsy. He has been tested three times and all come back negative. I still think he has gluten issues. We have decided this route with him because of the negative tests and his dad wants it done. Dad regrets not doing it with my youngest son, but there is no way (and he agreed) we will do a gluten challenge with him for three months. Three days was plenty to see the horrible reaction!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
