Says it all :)

We are Dr. shopping. Need to get out of CCF for several reasons.

Thanks!

Hi Stephanie,

Here is a link to the pediatric gastroenterology department at UH:

Open Original Shared Link

I can not personally recommend any one of them, as we use Akron Children's. I would google their names and see what comes up.

Good luck!

I have tried that. I need to know that the Dr. understands the entire scope of Celiac as ours do not ( I had to dx my DS with hypothyroid as they weren't up to it to know the two often go together).

Thanks though.

Hi Stephanie,

I am from Michigan, so I don't understand CCF.

I would try to get my daughter into Cincinnati Children's Hospital. My daughter has probable Celiac, but most definately Eosinophilic Esophagitus. CCH is one of the leading hospitals for EE. EE has a connection to Celiac. There is a recent article from the Ottawa Sun (March 28,2012) about an allergy causing hormone discovery. It primarily relates to EE and asthma, but who can say if it doesn't have a connection to Celiac. It appears that if there is a malfunction with miR-375 (microRNA) which is regulated by a gene, IL-13, the IL-13 determines wether or not to give the individual "allergies".

Since Eosinophilic Esophagitus is mainly diagnosed through an upper endoscopy with biopsy, there has got to be some pediatric gastroenterologists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center who know what they are doing. :)

I have considered driving there from Michigan. :rolleyes:

CCF is Cleveland Clinic Foundation.

I did see on US News Top Doctors that Atiye Aktay, MD from UH Rainbow specializes in feeding disorders, celiac, and capsule endoscopy. Maybe try a consult and see if you like her?

:huh: Been there (Dr. Aktay) done that won't go back ;) I think I may have found someone. I'll let you all know how it goes. Not that I have much faith at this point.

Judy Splawski is really good. We used to take my oldest daughter to her and were always happy. She's very nice too.

I too stay away from the Cleveland Clinic. ;)

Disclaimer: Not sure if it matters but my oldest did not have celiac but we saw Dr Splawski for other GI issues.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. 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.
