Re: Celiac Disease Question...

If you are on a gluten free diet-you cant do the tests for celiac-celaic is

treated with a gluten free diet and the blood test would nto be accurate

whil on a gluten free diet. The real DX of CD is done with a biopy of the

small intestine-and again if on a gluten free diet CD wont show up on the

biopy either because the colan does heal with treatment. www.celiac.org

{hope I got that right} will tell you signs/symptoms of testing ect. It is

not uncommon for a child with ASD to also be celiac.Lsiaf
