Hello list!

My husband, age 32, has been tested for celiac in his childhood.  A very
informative pediatrician, told his parents that he probably had celiac,
even though they could not determine it definitely.  Since that time, he
has been on a GF, lactose free diet.  Not until his early 20's did he
finally stick exclusively to the GF diet, just because he got sick of
feeling sick.  Recently, he met a gastroenterologist, who told him he
should get tested again, since now the testing process is much more
sophisticated.  Here is my question:  Should he get tested again?  The
GF, lactose free diet is working fine.  What would be the point in
testing again.  Is there a chance they could find cancer or some other
thing wrong since at one point he wasn't exclusively GF?

I will summarize back to the list.  Thanks in advance for your help.
