Yeah, this is hard when the doctors don't really know about the desease. About the tropical sprue, I don't think so because I live way north of the Tropic of Cancer, I live in the border with California, so we have a Mediterranean climate. The only thing that might be related to celiac around here is the rise on gastritis and IBS, being blamed on spicy food...

Mostly gastritis, but I had a bit of a B-vitamin deficiency, trygliceride deficiency, bloating and I was very nauseous in the morning and sometimes it seemed as if I had swallowed a frog, from all the burping.
