Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hi Everybody, My almost-4 year old, has been SCD for 3.5 months. He was diagnosed as PDD and our DAN doctor recommended he go on the diet. We never thought he had stomach issues, but results from colonoscopy/endoscopy from Dr.Krigsman confirmed he had colitis and something with the esophagus as well. My younger son, who is 1-and-a-half, has had a terrible stomach since birth. He is neuro-typical. Dr.Krigsman said he has found that many siblings of PDD patients have similar stomach issues as well. My question is, how do I go about getting a proper diagnosis for my younger son? Do I see a regular pediatric GI doctor? Would he know anything about the connection with SCD/PDD etc.? I would love to go back to Dr.Krigsman, but he doesn't accept any insurance and we can't afford to send another child there, so I need to keep to doctors on my network. I have had the baby on SCD for about a month with very little results. A side point, the baby has very strong cravings for fruits. He goes bonkers every time he sees a banana, date, apple, pear. He has such cravings it actually makes me think something isn't right. I have thrown a lot out there, but if anyone has NT siblings of a PDD child please let me know how to proceed or any general info. Thanks a lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
