     I am looking for referrals to Washington D.C. Kaiser doctors who are
     knowledgeable about celiac disease.  I have a friend living in D.C.
     who is beginning to think her intestinal distresses might be from a
     gluten intolerance.
 
     Her HMO is Kaiser.  Does anyone in the D.C. area have a
     Kaiser doctor to whom I could refer my friend for diagnosis?  Does
     Kaiser do the blood tests which indicate the presence of the disease?
 
     If I don't get a response about Kaiser doctors, I will send out a second
     request for info re knowledgeable non-Kaiser doctors in the D.C. area.
 
     Thank you in advance.
