What does a diagnosis of celiacute disease mean? my daughter had a endoscopy done wk ago biopsy neg..no intestine damage but has positive celiac gene

Only at risk: Just because one has a genetic predisposition does not mean that one will get the disease. Even identical twins are likely to get the same diseases only about 50% of the time. However this should alert your daughter to consider celiac disease as a potential issue when and if she develops symptoms suggestive of this condition.
