Help!  I finally made the decision for my daughter to be tested for Celiac.
At least the blood tests at this point.   I have Celiac and my mother has DH.
My daughter's only symptom is constipation.
 
I called my Gastroenterologist.  He told me he doesn't treat children (she is
13)  but he would send me the paper work to take to a lab if all I wanted was
the blood tests. I was referred to MetPath in East Brunswick, NJ.  Doesn't
this need to be sent to a speciality lab?  Does MetPath send it somewhere?
 
I don't know if I should go about it this way or find a Pediatric
Gastroenterologist who would be willing to do the blood tests without the
"classic symptoms".
