I would like to summarize the responses I received.

A special thanks to all who shared with me the emotional frustrations
that I am experiencing.  Grieving seems to be a normal response for those
newly diagnosed.

All of you agreed that my daughter should receive the biopsy.  As far as
the blood tests there seems to be a fair amount of research that indicates
false negative and false positives so my daughter may not have CD, we'll
see.

The tired feeling seems to also be normal.  Many asked if I was anemic.  I
had extensive blood work along with the CD panel and all blood work came
back normal.  I took advice of others and started on a gf multi with 2
Tums per day and I already feel better.

For those of you who wondered I'll let you know about my daughter's
biopsy.

Thank you all.  My daughter cried last week and said "Mom we are in this
alone."  I assured her there were lots of caring people out there.
Thanks again for all the responses and your kindness.
Joan Y.
