My sister had a routine colonoscopy yesterday.  The doctor as well took 3 tissue samples "to test for Celiac" just because she had told him I have Celiac, her blood tests were negative and she has no symptoms.  This is a first for me...I thought Celiac biopsies were ONLY of the small intestine.  Any comments?
