I will also bring any research that I have.  Just checking in if  anyone 
else has had a similar "calling to the carpet" and if there are some  crucial 
pieces of research that I don't want to miss.

It is so frustrating that  tongue tie is still tied to a "belief" system 
rather than evidence.  At  least in some cases.  Fortunately we are seeing 
fewer and fewer episodes of  what you are experiencing, Amy.
 
However, the AAP does NOT  back these practitioners.  If you take them 
THEIR book, "The Breastfeeding  Handbook for Physicians" published jointly by 
the AAP & ACOG, you will find  what you need on page 109 & 110.  Now, this 
book was published in  2006.  If it were to be updated someday (I hope), I'm 
sure there would be  more than this amount of information dedicated to tongue 
tie.  
 
We still don't have the  "study" of 1000 babies with tongue tie, half 
clipped and half not clipped,  comparing the results AND published in Pediatrics 
that one pediatrician told me  he needed before HE would "believe" in tongue 
tie, but we are getting more and  more research that supports the need for 
dividing the tongue  tie.
 
Good luck, Amy.
