Re: Celiac Sprue disease?!       12/15/07 04:52 PM Edit Reply Quote Zara Reged: 06/07/06 Posts: 883 Steffie, I just wanted to tell you that you should definitely continue eating gluten containing foods until your endoscopy. They will put the tube all the way into your small intestine to see if your villi have been damaged. Villi are small, hair-like follicles attached to the inner side of the small intestine. They are responsible for nutrient absorption and if you do have celiac disease, they will be very flattened. However, it only takes a few weeks for them to get healthy again. So if you stopped eating gluten the villi would appear healthy and the test would be false negative. The doctor will also take a few biopsies (samples) to see the extend of the possible damage. There's nothing to worry about, I had it done (negative) and I didn't feel a think, woke up later and was fine. Good luck! -------------------- IBS-C, bloating, cramps pregnant Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
