Thank you very much for the reference.

Hi, Can someone point me to the reputable research linking celiac with depression? I have depression and, very likely, celiac as well and need to understand how much of the depression part can be attributed to gluten. My psychiatrist does not think much about it but she may be just ignorant in this particular area. TIA, Eugene

Hi I just had positive anti-body blood test results (2 out of 3). I also have had skin problems for a while that were diagnosed as warts. They are mostly on hands, arms and legs. I looked at the DH pictures and they look very similar. Mine, however, almost never itch. Could it still be DH? TIA, Eugene

Thank you very much for the reply. I'm not looking for a doctor for my Dad. He's gluten-free for ages and that seems to work for him. I mentioned him only to underline that I do have a family history. My own blood test came up positive. So I need to see someone about biopsy and/or any other further testing. I'm not sure if any reputable gastroentrologist...

Hi, My Dad has celliac. Was diagnosed more than 20 years ago. I just did a blood test and it came back with the following POSITIVE results: GLIADIN ANTIBODIES IGG - 92.1 H GLIADIN ANTIBODIES IGA - 64.9 H So I guess I need to see a specialist. How do I find the specialist in my area (Nassau county, NY)? Can you by any chance recommend one...
