<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone I am hoping to get some help in making a important decision concerning if I should go through with having a endoscopy done or not. I have been doing a gluten challenge for four weeks now, have three weeks left to go before the endoscopy is to be done and have been sick the entire time. I received news yesterday that my 83 year old grandmother has just been diagnosed with Celiac Disease after over 40 years of sickness and three endoscopies. Now that I have a relative diagnosed I feel that going through with the procedure might be unnecessary. Should I have the blood screening done first? My reactions to eating gluten are so strong that I feel that blood screening should be enough to make a diagnosis. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Irene Young South River,Ont.Can
