CSCeliac, Re: CSwheat grass to sol
I think most doctors probably require a positive blood test before proceeding to the biopsy. But as you say, I doubt the blood test really catches everyone. So a lot of people who should have a biopsy probably don't get one. However, a biopsy has risks. The person I knew who died, had been mis-diagnosed for at least 10-15 years before finding out she was celiac. Once she was diagnosed she was very strict on the celiac diet, but it was not enough. BTW, a real celiac diet is godawful, involves FAR more than just avoiding gluten in grains and grain products and baked goods. sol zeb caffe wrote: thanks for the information sol.

Re: CSwheat grass
That is a good question, but wheat grass is the plant leaf, not the seed/grain. I think all the gluten is in the grain, but I'm no expert. It is the gluten that causes the intestinal damage in celiac, and wheat is not the only grain that contains gluten. You could google some celiac info websites to get accurate information. And anyone who has or suspects they have celiac should get all the info they can. I read that the amount of gluten in 1/100th of a slice of bread is enough to cause intestinal cell damage. I do know there is a blood test for celiac, but it is not 100% accurate, and for a really accurate diagnosis a biopsy is required. I believe I have posted this here before, but since no archives, I'm repeating it. An aquaintance of mine died of celiac caused liver damage, while waiting for a liver transplant. sol zeb caffe wrote: Is wheat grass acceptable if one is wheat sensitive or has celiac disease. http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=43256/*http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/mailbeta -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
