I'm in Northwest Ohio. I see the Digestive Health Care Consultants of Northwest Ohio. It's located in Toledo. Dr. Kevin Koffel is amazing and so is Dr. Greg Slee. The Cleveland Clinic is supposed to be ranked #2 for digestive health care in the US (2nd only to the Mayo Clinic). I've heard that Cincinnati has an excellent pancreas center as well but I have never been there and don't know any doctors there.

I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
