Fellow Listmates,
        While my doctor had me in for my reflux problem, he also did
another biopsy to check the status of my Celiac Disease.  (My first and
only biopsy was preformed in 1996 at the time of diagnosis.)

        His nurse called me with the results that the biopsy showed
"inflammation", but that the doctor said you're doing just "fine" and keep
up your GF diet.  Needless to say, I was concerned about the "inflammed"
part of what she had to say.  I keep as strict as I can on my GF diet and
never cheat.  I can't imagine why my intestine would be "inflammed" and why
this is not of concern to my doctor.  I couldn't ask him directly because
he was away on vacation, but do plan to ask at my upcoming visit.

        Am I worrying over nothing, or is "inflammed" more of a concern
than he is leading me to believe?

        Thank you.
