If they return negative then the gastro surgeon is willing to diagnose her as coeliac. If they haven't changed (they were only slightly over the cut-off for positive) then she can go back on gluten and it will just be a case of keeping a close eye on her bloods in future...<br /><br />though it does make me wonder how many biopsies she will have to go through if she has to have one with each positive blood resultKaren TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02902085160262739846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16187844.post-74877060084105028322013-10-21T02:02:41.102+11:002013-10-21T02:02:41.102+11:00Howdy Brazen.
Just curious what you meant by ...Howdy Brazen. <br />Just curious what you meant by 'her particular kind of blood results' means it wouldn't show until it was too late?<br />and the 'IGA?' thing... what was that about, did they tell you?<br /><br />Cheers<br />KristyKristy@SeeMyFootprintshttp://seemyfootprints.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
