After having been gluten-free for about 3 months (and feeling
significantly better), I ate gluten---lots and lots of gluten---for 2 weeks
and then had a biopsy. For the biopsy, I asked not to be sedated
It was totally painless and only slightly uncomfortable---much
less to it than, say, getting a tooth filled. I can't understand
why so many people on this list consider the biopsy such a nasty
thing.

In any case, I got the results back today and it was
negative. I'm not surprised since I did not have any severe
or dramatic reaction when I re-introduced gluten. But I still
think something is not right. It seems that I have, more or less,
a constant mild case of the runs. And I did feel better
on the gluten-free diet, though my pooping problems never
really cleared up. I'd appreciate hearing any ideas/suggestions
anybody might have. Thanks.
