Exactly the situation in our family.  My son did not need another biopsy
since he was a "classic" celiac and showed improvement within weeks of going
on the diet.  Myself, a non-classic celiac, was biopsied after 7 mths to see
if the diet was actually working.  The doctor said I had a little ways to go
before everything was back to normal, just persevere on the diet and only
come back if I had any problems.  Now I just see my GP.  My son goes
annually to his GI for a checkup.
