Has anyone else gotten a biopsy report that did not *for sure* diagnose
celiac?  I don't understand why my son's Dr. is not *convinced* he has
celiac.  Inflammation is standard on a biopsy if they have it isn't it?
I am not sure I want to put him on Prednisone.  These Eosinophils are in
everyone's digestive system who have an allergy to wheat or have celiac
disease aren't they?

Have any of your Dr.'s or pathologists reports also indicated there being
these white blood cell components in their GI tract?  That would help me to
know.

I  just don't understand why everyone else had a *no doubt it's celiac* kind
of diagnosis after their biopsy.

I have found some groups like this one specializing in EO disease but am
wondering if in fact it really is just another name for celiac.
How do I go about getting a second opinion on that biopsy?  Do I ask his GI
Dr. or ask my regular clinic MD?

Thanks,
Dianne
