ARCHIVED My Biopsy Results Were Negative - I Am Devastated
irish daveyboy replied to bennyboy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi 'bennyboy', Just a thought you need to be consuming GLUTEN for about 6 - 8 wks prior to biopsy, otherwise you can get a negative result. Your Villi my not have been damaged that much and if you had been gluten free prior to biopsy the villi could have repaired somewhat making analysis difficult ? -
