You do run the risk of having a GI who will insist there is no need for a gluten free diet unless there is biopsy evidence of CD. That is what happened to my oldest daughter, and at age 16 she decided to listen to her doctor (after all, all those years of medical school, the doctor must be right ).

The GI my dd saw instructed her to eat more fiber filled cereal and she will be fine.
Didn't suggest the biopsy and does not feel the blood work findings proved anything.
So, we quickly dismissed him as an *** and continued with the GF diet.
She has lost over 50 pounds, her hair is growing back and she feels so much better. Every now and then she will gluten herself and be sick for days. (Rashes, mouth soars, total brain fog).
The GF is not bad. Other than the cost. Found a small package of GF croutons for $6 just last night - pass! We as a family are eating better and being very careful around her.
Thank you for the information.
