David....I highly suggest you read Dr. Peter Green's newest version of "Celiac Disease: The Hidden Epidemic.It's about as excellent a reference book as there is. He goes into detail about what you have to do in reality to live gluten free successfully.

Gemini: Thank you for this post! I have the previous version of Green's book. Should I order an update -- how extensive are the additions to the latest version?

A woman of taste and TRUE INSIGHT! :D Thank you for your kind words, it's nice (and so rare... ) to be so fully appreciated in one's own lifetime! :lol:

Seriously, I needed to hear that right now, thank you. If you liked this post, you should read my material on snacking I save all my REALLY deep thinking for the important aspects of life, like junk food... :rolleyes:

I checked it out at the library and have skimmed through it, though I can't say I've read it cover to cover. It is an interesting book. Thanks for the suggestion & encouragement.

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.
