I also have IBS/d and I never have heard of "celiac disease" before. I know what you mean by "hellish AD's"!! I get the most benefit from SSri's, but they DO rip my guts to shreds. I have tried adding nortriptyline (20-30mg/day) to the SSRi and it did help a lot, BUT I didn't like the sfx from the NT!Mitch
