<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Our pediatrician admitted openly to not knowing much about CD. He'd read about it in med school. When I suggested to him that perhaps that was what was going on with Virginia, he told me this, then went into his office and pulled out his med books. We read them together, with what little info was there. He then suggested that I see what other sources I could find and gave me some ideas about the diet, as well as recommending a gastro in Indianapolis, since this was the first he'd ever seen in Lafayette. Folks, I was pleased that he told me how little he knew, rather than pretending to know something. Most of the complaints I'm reading here are about docs who act like they know all about CD and pooh-pooh any other advice or info. However, something else to keep in mind: When we go to a doctor, we tend to expect the doctor to have answers to all of our questions. These guys are smart, but they can't know everything. Older docs tend to get toughened toward this attitude after years of having to deal with patients who are patient and expect an answer NOW. However, if we go with a particular question in mind, and with some knowledge and info ON PAPER to back us up, and don't go looking for a debate, we're more able to work with our medical providers and they are more willing to work with us.
