<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I convinced a few of my friends with symptoms to participate in one of the U of Maryland celiac blood testing events. A friend with manic-depression and asthma tested as a possible celiac. The U of MD suggested that she keep eating gluten and be retested in 6 months. She doesn't care so much about being officially branded a celiac as finding something to help with her health problems. She went on the diet a few weeks ago and the asthma seems to be improving. I have read quite a bit about the relationship of depression to cd. Is anyone out there a celiac with manic-depression before or after the diagnosis of cd? Barb in Springfield, OH
