I disagree with this approach. Tests for celiac disease should be made in any patients who fulfill Rome criteria with diarrhea-predominant IBS.2 Such a syndrome is associated with poorly responsive celiac disease and one of the indications for serological screening of celiac disease.3 Even in a population with low prevalence of celiac disease, it can be cost-effective to screen for this disorder in patients with suspected IBS.4
