I am a biopsy-dxed celiac for the past 14 years.At my annual ob-gyn exam, I
tested positive for occult blood. They had me do stool samples for 3 days
after abstaining from red meat for 3 days. Again 2 out of 3 samples were
positive.Now they are recommending a colonoscopy. Does anyone know of any
reason NOT to have this test done? Thanks for your help.
