Re: symptoms but biopsy fails to reveal anything?

[Guest guest]

I know, I had a crazy moment where I thought.. "ahh, maybe they are right no gluten intolerance".

WRONG! LOL!

OKAY, so it is clearer now, thank you. I had no clue that damage cannot be detected.

How does the endoscopy help in that case? just in the off-chance they do biopsy the right area?

So why did the nurse or doc give my husband a printout on Celiac Sprue when they cannot detect it visually and it MAY well have been something else? Is that not presumptuous? All they knew was anemia I think.

Thanks again,

Cleo

Re: symptoms but biopsy fails to reveal anything?

If you feel better, stick with the diet! The biopsy may have not been taken from damaged areas or from what I hear some labs aren't very well versed in reading the results. I myself have not had the biopsy. My blood test numbers were so high and I had an immediate improvement on the diet that my doctor "diagnosed" me without a biopsy.
