Regarding your doctor saying one has to have symptoms to have cd. That
is not so as you say. There is a lady in our support group who had
absolutely no symptoms. The doc discovered on a routine check-up that
her calcium were dangerously low, he had her rush back in to the office
the same day. The bioposy showed she had celiac and she is now on a gf
diet, needless to say she finds it very difficult as she was feeling
fine. So doctors really need to inform themselves. Janet in Maine
