Gastro Paed in Sydney needed, please help!

[Lillianne]

Just wandering if anyone knows some really good paed who deals mainly with gastric disorders/ intollerances. I am now on dairy free, soy free, acid free diet for almost 3 months, it's driving me crazy, they keep telling me to wait, and God knows how long more my little one is going to tolerate this, as the symptoms are still there, not as much but still there once in a while. I went to 3 different paed, once we had to stay in the hospital 4 nights, they were monitoring him and did some tests, and they really assumed it was dairy, then it turned out it was soy, then maybe it's also the ciric acids, tomatoes, oh God, what now...
I am off everything lately, I think I am missing out on so much nutrients at the moment and it's just not easy as well that I have to cook 2 different meals each time, for me and for my family members.
I really need to get it sorted.
Has anyone came across this situation, do you guys know some good paeds?
Thanks

Yep go straight to a Pediatric GI as they are much more thorough & being their specialty they know their stuff !

Ours is in Syd & is really one of the best but is VERY hard to get into so the wait is often 6mths if not longer ... Although you can go onto a waiting list & may get in earlier ... Cry heaps & even call daily if necessary cause his receptionist can work out those who need the earlier appts etc ;)


His name is :

Dr R Jackson & he is located in Prince Of Wales Private .... If you google you will find loads of info.

This may be a long haul depending on where you are in Syd but its well worth it IMO ! I & other friends travel a few hours to see him he is that good !

Otherwise the GI team at SCH is great but sadly a lot are leaving their positions atm so its a bit of hit & miss !
