>Thrud,
I recently read about celiac disease in my search for help after years of being treated with many medications without success. I had not heard of celiac disease before. Where does one get tested for it (allergy clinic, etc.)?
Thanks for the helpful information. Would love to hear how it turns out for you. Best wishes.
