cassP, can you elaborate on this? Is there a link to some studies or documentation? I've not seen or heard this, but would be interested in looking at anything that supports that connection.

This is probably a dumb question, but is there any chance a celiac diagnosis could be confirmed/rejected based on a past biopsy? The first biopsy I had that showed Barrett's was when I had been eating gluten my whole life. Is it a visual test or is it more than that?

I was on that diet for...
