HI, I wonder if anyone else has possible refractory celiac disease?  What 
course of treatment is there?  My husband aged 69 is likely to be given 
steroids this week, he has been on GF diet since Jan 2006, dagnosed celiac by 
endoscopy, is very light in weight, has good appetite, keen to work in garden 
& house, but hasn't always got enough energy, suffered with campylobacter 
infection in nov 06, further endoscopy July 07, when looking for bacterial 
overgrowth found hemolytic streptococcus July 07.  I just wondered if others 
have responded after a longer period of GF diet, or if steroids have helped?  I 
have found that doctors not keen to check for low stomach acid, pancreatic 
insufficiency, and only checked for SIBO after me wittering on about it.  Has 
anyone any advice please?

All the best,
Carole C, UK
