I am 48 years old and have been misdiagnosed since I started having severe symptoms at age 12. My dentist discovered/recommended I go on strict gluten free diet (my mouth was full of lesions) and follow up with a specialist. I have been gluten free for more than 6 months and am a totally new person. However I have not been able to find a physician in my area who is familiar with this disease process. I know I have numerous nutritional deficiencys and need help. Thanks. Laura
