    I would like to find an updated pediatric specialist on celiac, in Portugal or Spain.

    I'm sorry but Portugal Association doesn't recomend doctors and it's very attached to the classic form of celiac, also doctors b ecause new blood scopes are not available here. So there i'snt more treined doctors here in Portugal, maybe Spain. My daugther made the genetic test using saliva there.

    Being celiac isn't the end off the wold...getting treated is the best, if not all kinds of problems show up.... Being healthy without gluten is amazing, we learn how to manage food and labels, the secure foods and brands, after sometime it becomes normal life (without restaurants, without bakerys and coffee, ...) but we can still drink a bottle of water...

    The genetic test and the duodenal biopy are the two other exams, but blood tests really indicate a good chance of having celiac. I am doing the same with my daugther and after 8 weeks eating gluten the blood tests were getting high but still lower than the maxixum value used for the laboratory, but she as all lot of symptoms (bone pain, hard stool,...

    The problem of testing celiac: even if the genetic is positive (I have 3 genes positive): - you have to keep eating gluten, until blood tests positive but nowone really knows what amount of bread will get that value! - you are getting sicker, but the dosage of gliadin in not there still for the doctors it is not celiac even if you have all the signs...

    I am also had ferritin low <30 (funcional ferropenia) and ferritin saturation < 19%, my family doctor initially said it was ok, and I couldn't almost walk. Then the celiac disease doctor gave me folate, B12 and Iron, the ferritin is already 38% and Ferritin saturation 21%, and I already feel a lot better. But because I took probiotic before...

    During 40 years I had all those things, I was neurotic, to slow, I was an human mistake that was born...that was what my mother made me feel. When I was 7,8 years old I went to birthday party's, eat cakes like other kids. After at home, what I have eaten came out through my mouth and I felt so sick....My mother said I was a glutton, I have eated to...
