Well I had my first "2" biopsies yesterday. The doctor said that is might still be too soon after the prednisone, but I was there anyway and he saw a good one. He took one next to a bump, and another one on a bump. I go back next week to have the sutures removed and he said we should have the results by then.

Sounds just like mine!!!

Poor guy! I went to ER with lots of abdominal pain, constipation, and a fever. They ran a few tests then did a CT scan or MRI, I don't remember which. It showed up very well during the scan.

This is my first post, but I have been reading for several years now. I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis about 5 years ago, but my mother had been telling me about Celiac. Her father had it (I have no idea how they diagnosed it back then) My mother has Crohn's and possible Celiac, but she is 94 years old and the doctors don't think it is necessary...
