<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for your many supportive replies to my question regarding a biopsy being the gold standard test for CD. I apologize for taking so long to summarize. Some important points brought to my attention: - majority believed that there are definitely different levels of intolerance to gluten as well as levels of CD severity. - keep in mind that tests for CD as well as the Dr.s performing are subject to error in reading and taking the test(s). - for more info try a web site that addresses celiac testing: http://www.fastlane.net/homepage/thodge/DIAG-TST.txt Thank you again to everyone who responded - it really warmed my heart! By the way, is anyone on the listserv from Winchester or Charlottesville and interested in getting in touch? -Sally in VA
