<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Last year someone on this List compiled a survey of those diagnosed as children with Celiac and then told they outgrew it. In the 1940's-1950's this was common. The uncomfortable symptoms might have gone away, but I doubt anyone was re-biopsied and then told the disease was gone! I've frequently been told that symptoms commonly disappear during the teenage years and that's one of the reasons it is difficult to keep teens compliant with the diet. I was diagnosed within my first year of life and told by age 5 I "outgrew" the disease, only to have the symptoms re-occur after the stress of surgery. It was difficult persuading a gastroenterologist that I had it as a child, until biopsy proven again as an adult. I too believe once a Celiac, always a Celiac. Lynn
