Hi. I am in Indianapolis and have not found any specialists in the Midwest. If it were me, I would just fly to Boston and get an opinion from the main specialists. I was lucky to travel to see Dr. Cem Akin when he was in Michigan, but he has now moved to Boston. If I needed more help, I wouldn't hesitate to travel across the country to get it. The right info and assistance can turn your whole life around. It did mine!

Feel well!

Hi Jen,

Since you said you had a positive test for too many mast cells in your digestive system, I would consider starting with Dr. Philip Miner, a GI doctor in Oklahoma City and a mast cell disorder specialist. He's one of several pioneers in diagnosing and treating digestive mast cell proliferation. Dr. Miner's website is: http://www.ofdr.org/

I haven't seen him personally, but my GI doctor knows him and would recommend him, as they both are working on mast cell problems in the GI tract.

Here's a link to one of Dr. Miner's articles:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14680622

If he can't help you, then I'd definitely go to Boston to see Dr. Akin or Dr. Castells. Good Luck!

Jen, I'm with everyone! I personally really want to see Dr Miner, Joan was talking about, gut issues are huge with me and he spoke at the last conference and I absolutely loved him my then runner up is of course Dr Akin!! Or Dr Castells also. For me Miner and the Gut are good, travel is a nightmare for me so my hopes are pinned on Dr Miner. If you have no gut issues go to Boston. I'd choose boston over MD anderson. I could be wrong but I believe MD Anderson only treats aggressive masto.
