SCD-friendly docs in (or near) Nashville?

[Guest guest]

This is my first post on the new group, but we've been SCDing for

over three years now. It started for my son, Peyton (5), who has PDD

but primarily extreme short bowel syndrome (lost over 80% of small

intestine, mostly ileum). Last year, I had a momentary lapse of

reason and tried soaked oatmeal for a while. It didn't seem to worsen

the autistic behaviors and actually seemed to improve things for a

while, then all you-know-what broke loose. The damage to his

colon/anus was so bad that he almost had to have a colostomy. The

docs here (Dayton, OH) were and still are hesitant to " blame " it on

the oats, but I know. We're only now getting things calmed down, and

we've never dealt with stuff this bad since going SCD.

Anyway, not having ANY local dietary support (in fact, it's been very

hostile and secretive) has been horrible. We are moving near

Nashville, TN, and I just wanted to see if anyone knew any medical or

other supportive resources there. I know there's Vanderbilt, but I

just suspect more of the same from them. I would love to be

pleasantly surprised.

Thanks in advance for any info.
