Yearly check ups are a quality control.  The more a doctor knows about
celiac the more they know you should get a yearly checkup.  It is
important to get one of the antibodies tested yearly to look for
unknown gluten exposure and to confirm good dietary adherence, as well
as to check thyroid function, look for diabetes, and other problems.
See my web site at www.napervillegi.com for a cheat sheet on what is
needed in history, physical exam, and labs in addition to routine adult
health testing, as well as a reference to an excellent monograph from
Amer. Assoc. Fam Prac.

Regarding Kaiser, there is so much practice variance that is
unregulated that you can expect to find a wide range of utilization
habits among docs, even at Kaiser.
