    hi pinky, i think your doctors MUST send you for biopsies, coeliac disease is ONLY absolutely confirmed like this, the tests show whether the villi stand up or lie flat in your small intestine. if they lie flat you do have a huge chance of being a coeliac! i hope you get the correct answer quicker than me, if took me years!
