<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi-- I want to first offer my heartfelt thanks to those of you who have written telling me to stay healthy and never mind the Dr's---I really appreciate the moral support. I agree that going off the diet when its what makes me well is sorta like hitting your head against the wall and complaining that you have a headache LOL--which is why I ask the question I do... But I find that I must offer a clarification---in rereading my post I realize I wasn't at all clear what my true question is. Sorry about that. My concern is that I understand there is followup care for the "difinitively" diagnosed celiac---additional biopsies or closer care to monitor cancer than the average population or what-have-you. Since I believe I am a celiac, I am left wondering just what kind of follow-up care is involved--just how important this monitoring is--how many of you do it--how often--etc etc etc. In other words--is this something I should be concerned about--Is there a real clear reason to get the diagnoses other than that I'd have something to show the IRS if I tried to get the tax write-off on the price of g/f products? Sorry if this wasn't at all clear in my original post. Put it down to mental cloudiness as this is the worst of the allergy season for me. barbara in Burbank CA
