Like so many on this list, my blood test came back negative.  I have been on
the diet for the last year.  Whenever I go off the diet, the nausea returns.
So finally, I decided to go ahead with the endoscopy.  When I went to the
doctor for the results, he told me that based on the biopsy, he couldn't say
I had Celiac, but he also couldn't say I didn't.  The villi were not
damaged, but the crypts between the villi were damaged.  He said in Celiac
you would see the crypts damaged, but also the villi.  It is possible I am
in the early stages of Celiac.  Has anyone else had this show up on their
biopsy?  Since my Mom has Celiac and I have symptoms that go away on the
diet, he is not sure.  Does anyone know of anything else that could cause
the damage?
