My question: is it possible for someone with celiac disease to have a totally normal biopsy after not eating gluten for years?

I'm wondering if anyone has had trouble with "parabiotics" ? (I think that is what they are called - an herbal supplement meant to kill the bad bacteria in your gut).

SanFranGirl posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
When I get glutened I usually have stomach cramps, bloating, and constipationfor a few days prior to becoming sick, and then I come down with flu-like symptoms, fatigue, fevers, etc as well as diarrhea, or not always complete diarrhea but I go to the bathroom a lot more than usual and the bloating continues as well. So Last week, and it came back this... -
I was diagnosed with celiac in June after feeling sick for 2 years with chronic constipation, fevers, bloating, and rashes, and fatigue (and unexplainable hypothyroidism which I am treating and was diagnosed earlier). I was only diagnosed with blood tests (positive for the anitibodies and one of the genes), never had a intestinal biopsy... Since I combed...
