This is not a medical backed article but take from it what you will. And I would go based on her follow up tests.... Like did her levels get affected by the increase in kale or cruciferous veggies in her diet. http://www.shape.com/blogs/weight-loss-coach/could-kale-cause-hypothyroidism
Hey friend's! We need to find a new doctor for my son Cameron. Can anyone recommend a doctor they like that would be a good fit for a 19-year-old young man? Thanks

Dr. Egseiker is an excellent Dr. That is who my kids saw after other Dr had left/retired.
Does anyone know of a good chiropractor? I fell off a tall stool a few weeks ago and continue to have issues. I think it's time to see a doctor.

You can start by checking out our website www.foodfortubies.com. You will find information there on recipe building, blenders, etc. You could also check out the book Complete Tube Feeding by Eric O'Gorman, it's priced reasonably on Amazon. I will share with the group for you, please let us know if you have any specific questions :)

We had my son in a two week intense outpatient feeding therapy at Seattle Childrens Hospital. It was back in June 2011 when my son was just a little under three years old. He had been on a feeding tube since 3 months old. The therapy included having you go to the clinic at certain times of the day (three times a day) where you would sit and try touching and tasting different foods and drinks. It was always the same occupational therapist you saw and occasional RD. We only stayed for a week though because the therapist didnt feel my son was ready to try to eat because he was refusing all foods and drinks and having severe meltdowns. That was when the therapist suspected he had autism and he would need a lot more therapy and work than what she can do. A few months later he got the offical diagnosis of autism and is working with a occupational therapist at home locally. But the feeding clinic was very helpful they were the ones who gave me the information about Bkenderized Diets. Before them I never heard of BD!
Cathy P. replied:
Please check out Susanne Evans Morris; Mealtime Partners. She is excellent,very gentle and effective approach. My son is probably not a candidate but we spent a few days with her and she has had great success.
Cheri P. replied:
The feeding clinic in Baltimore is at Kennedy Krieger, not Hopkins. We did a lesser outpatient treatment program at Kennedy Krieger and they got him eating. The intensive therapy is hardcore and can be very successful, but doesn't work for everyone. I'd encourage you to get an evaluation from someone who specializes in eating challenges to make sure your child is a good fit. Our son eats now but has never been and I suspect will never be a good eater.

we have Dr. Michele Winesett's practice for GI and they referred us to Noaa Bujanover out of All Children's as our dietician. (we had to stop blending due to some other medical issues) but Noaa was fantastic, very knowledgeable and supportive of BD.
