<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi there Someone told me the other day that their younger brother had been diagnosed as coeliac at 2 years of age and had improved greatly on a gluten free diet. However, when he was 21 he found out he actually had some kind of amoeba and wasn't coeliac after all. For some reason the gluten free diet had helped with his symptoms. He was given injections to clear the amoeba from his system and can now safely sample all those foods that were forbidden for so many years! I don't have all the details because I was at a party and didn't want to get into all the gory medical details. But I am assuming that the initial diagnosis at 2 years of age was not from biopsies. Just thought this was food for thought for those who are debating whether or not to bother getting biopsies done. Regards, Diane, Australia
