Who should be tested to diagnose celiac disease? Dr. Rodney Ford deals with that question in this six minute video. When watching this video, keep in mind that Dr. Ford is a pediatrician and speaks like a physician who is most comfortable talking to children.  However, he conveys a great deal of valuable information. What he does not mention that most experts believe that the blood tests (if they produce positive results) should be confirmed by a biopsy. He also does not talk about the problems involved n testing someone who is already eating gluten free. Perhps he is saving those thoughts for a future video.

After wiatching this video, you may be interested in purchasing Dr. Ford’s book "The Gluten Free Syndrome". If you wish to order it on-line,  click on the book cover shown at the end of the article to purchase it from The Gluten Free Mall.
