<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I think that I probably had CD back in 1940 when I was three years old and weighed 17 pounds. The diarrhea finally went away and I started to gain weight. Forty years later I developed it again without most ot the expected symptoms. I had to have 2 biopsies before I was diagnossed. Two years ago after a biopsy for something else I was told that I had no signs of CD. I ate some of the foods I had missed and in two weeks I had developed some of the classic symptoms that I had never had before. Nancy K
