<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am intriqued by the story of a celiac having 6 endoscopies in one year. It seems unlikely that celiac disease alone could necessitate that # of biopsies. I presume these were for other reason like to treat a narrowing. If someone has a endoscopy with adequate biopsies of the small intestine which identifiy the abnormalities in the intestine, there is little reason to rebioipsy that person within 6 months unless there is a concern for some other problem. It is too early to check for healing to do it less that 6 months after starting the diet. I have heard of people having a repeat biopsy after only 6 weeks to check for healing, that is too short a time. Some patients will not need another biopsy. The decision to rebiopsy and when is not simple and should be individualised to the patients situation. Not medical advice Joe Murray Univ of Iowa
