Anyone ever heard of this?
My son had a biopsy for CD. It came up negitive, however it showed a small
part of his Villi was flat. Also there was a part around this area that was
red or inflamed. He was put on medication to cure the inflamation. But he did
not want to take it because the medication was very strong. He has a heart
condition, and is a Diabetic also. He gets very bad diarrhea attacks. on and
off.

He is also on dialysis. He is not eating GF food, because he was told he did
not have CD.

Because it could be fatal for him to have the 4 hour treatment every other
day,which is administered in the Hospital, he elected to have a tube inserted
in his stomach, and he does his at home for 8 houys every day.
His stomach is getting enormous. His doctors do not know why. No other
dialysis people have this to his knowledge.

My wife & I both think he might have CD, and this is why the large stomach.

Has anyone ever came accross something like this?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Alex
