A member asked:
I have celiac disease and i'm on a gluten free diet. should i be seeing a doctor for my celiac disease? if so, why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, you should: You don't mention how you were diagnosed. If you are doing well and initially had an endoscopy that confirmed the diagnosis, there is no urgency. Still you should be seen once a year. If you have never had an endoscopy, you should see a gastroenterologist.
