[QUOTE="Josie, post: 162853, member: 1792"] I forgot to say that many people are diagnosed with celiac disease without the biopsy. The biopsy takes a sample from the small intestine and looks for damage. It is possible for them to take a sample that isn't damaged when you consider how long the small intestine is and how few samples they take. It is also possible that the intestine hasn't been damaged yet but will show damage later. Since your son has been somewhat gluten free, it is especially likely he won't have damage. Some people opt not to put their children through it and do the diet anyway. It still might be worth doing because if it is positive, no one will be able to tell him later that he doesn't have it. I just had the procedure. Typically for celiac disease, they scope the upper GI tract. The cleansing prep is not necessary. I just had it done and it is no big deal before or after. [/QUOTE]
