Hello All,

I was diagnosed with Celiac a little over a year ago when it was confirmed
by a biopsy.  From all of the positive feedback I received from all of you,
I decided to reach out to Dr. Fine for a follow up.  I did his test which
showed that my readings were a bit high but were probably better than they
where I was a year ago.  Dr. Fine suggested that I just continue to follow
a gluten free diet and see what changes happen in the next year.  In the
meantime, I received a call from the original doctor who diagnosed me and
he is insisting on a follow-up biopsy.  He said it is necessary to check
for Lymphoma.  Dr. fine totally disagrees.  He does not feel that a biopsy
can deterime whether Lymphoma is present or not.  I am so confused.

I would appreciate any advice as to whether I should go ahead and schedule
this biopsy or not.  Please help!

Thank you!

Donna
