Welcome @tahoe1, I think a gastroenterologist is the specialist for the condition. Here's some information and FAQs on the condition:

"Your family doctor or primary care provider can order the celiac disease blood test for you. You can also schedule an appointment to speak with a gastroenterologist experienced in treating people with celiac disease. Additionally, if you already see a specialist such as an endocrinologist or rheumatologist, he or she may be knowledgeable about celiac disease and are likely to order the blood test as well."

Do you mind sharing what kind of symptoms you are having? Have you discussed them with your doctor?
