Thanks Nini, I will probably stay away from the biopsy, not because I'm a fraid of procedures but If the Dr didn't push it maybe I really don't need it. I'm feeling better now that I'm not eating so many vegy's. Those were making me feel horrible. Anyway, I will call and get my Daughter in and rule her out hopefully. My other two daughters don't seem to have any sypmtoms so I leave them be for now. I appreciate your help.

In April is was diagnosed as having celiac by a blood test. The Dr said I should then have a biopsy of my small intesting and then go on the celiac diet. I thought hey lets skip the biopsy and just go straight to the diet. Well now I'm wondering if I should have the biopsy to prove that I have celiac disease 100%. What are your thoughts. I have reflux which I had a surgery to correct and ever since I've has very painful bloating problems. Celiac seemed to be the answer but the other day my stomach blew up before I ate anything so that makes me wonder if it's celiac and maybe something else. Do you think having the biopsy 2 months later is going to show anything? I also have small blisters on my hands, which I've has since I can remember. Is this the rash related to Celiac. They are not itchy just very small lister bumps on my fingers and palms. They only bother me because I can see them.

My youngest Daughter was diagnosed with gastritis early last year so I thought being I'm a celiac maybe she has it. Gastritis is caused by alcohol, smoking and stress. She is 6 so she could have been misdiagnosed! I brought her in and my Dr said to keep her on prilosec for 3 months and see how it goes. Should I bring her in and demand the test or wait. I want to bring her back in but the Dr makes me feel like I'm crazy. I know Celiac is 100% so why wouldn't he want to rule her out?

By the way, this is a great website!
