This is the summary reguarding biopsy testing for proof of cs, is doing a
challenge worth it? There were 14 responses.
Eight said no. One said it took her months to recover, and another said it
is just to hard both physically and emotionally and that loss of job would
be an issue. Another said it's to hard and the end result is the same,
makes no difference in medical approach. Others just said they flatly
refuse, it's to hard.

One person said it totally depends on the situation and each person must
make their own decision.

Five said yes. Reasons were:
family history of lymphoma and positive id important to others in family,
Doctors and insurance will take you more seriously,
Insurance won't pay for the bone density test because of no positive id.
One replied that if positive you get free flour if you live in New Zealand,:)
and lastly one said that it makes hospital visits easier for diet.

Thank you all who answered this reply and I hope it helps others in their
difficult decision.
Lesley
