[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 162777, member: 3444"] Glad you found out about the diagnosis and can begin treating him for this! The biopsies really shouldn't be a problem. My difficult child 1 had 13 tissue samples taken last month during an upper and lower GI scope and was no worse for the wear. The prep for scoping is the biggest drag, but you can ask if they'll let him take Miralax instead of the usual magnesium citrate (nasty stuff). Miralax is sold OTC now and is a white powder with NO taste and NO smell. You just mix it with a clear beverage (apple juice, Sprite, water, even chicken broth) and that's it! difficult child 1 had to drink it with 80oz. over the course of a day for his prep the day before the scope. Nothing solid to eat on prep day, just clear liquids. There was no painful cramping, just lots of loose stool and he got through it fine. The good news is that there are LOTS of gluten-free options available in markets now, whereas 10 years ago it was a real struggle to rebuild your diet around that. You'll get really good at reading labels and scoping out which restaurants have gluten-free choices. [/QUOTE]
