[QUOTE="Fishtoo, post: 684240, member: 141750"] I'm a coeliac and a doctor....went through a biopsy to prove 20 years ago...( no sedative because they said i was medical and wouldn't need it...Hah! docs are human too lol!) However now if you have a suspicious blood test , in New Zealand I would advise that there may be no need for a biopsy....if you have been off all gluten for some time and symptoms have fully resolved...then self test by eating lots of gluten for a day or two as see if symptoms return...if you think it might be just a wheat allergy, then test with barley instead of wheat...it only took me 2 slices of wheat bread to prove that I was a coelic, but the biopsy 2 weeks later was still positive...I had lost 20kg by then...apparently it can take many months for the bowel to fully heal in severe cases...but discuss with your doctor and do whatever your doctor suggests...I'm just saying that we do not always do a biopsy on everyone in NZ.....
