Dear group -

I recently attended a talk by Dr. Fasano, who heads
the Celiac Center at University of Maryland.  This was
in the Chicago area (the talk).

He said there is a new blood test, the tTG or tissue
Trans Glutamanase test, and that it is 98% accurate
for Celiac Sprue.  More accurate than IgA, etc.
