the only way to be sure is get the antibody screening tests. If positive a
biopsy should be performed to provide a positive dx. If you have DH your are
a celiac(according to Dr. Fasano at a talk at Albany Med. College last week).
If your are celiac it must be a zero gluten diet to be effective. Try to get
a Dr. knowlegeable in celiac sprue.
