Flattening Of Duodendum

Hi all

I am a new member - I had a colposcopy and endoscopy done last week. The docs report said that there was flattening of the mucosa in duodendum - suspected coealic.

I had a blood test done about 6 weeks ago and that tested negative for coealic.

My symptoms have been constipation and diarehha, bloating, headaches and fatigue. I have started gluten free this week since seeing docs report - feeling ok - still tired..

Just wondering if the flattening of mucosa could be anything g else other than coealic?

Cheers

Kt

Parasites can damage the villi according to the doctor which examined my son for parasites.  My son had similar inability to absorb  nutrients as I had with celiac disease.  The parasite which lives in the small intestine, was giardia.  A stool test can be done to look for these.

There are many things that could damage villi. This is what the University of Chicago's celiac website has to say:

Your symptoms are consistent with celiac. Sometimes meaning is lost verbally. I strongly recommend requesting copies of both the procedural and pathology reports from the endoscopy....along with any and all blood work.

If you post the results here...many of us can interpret them for you.

And ya, my gut says celiac...do all you can to remove gluten from your life.

Check out this thread for tons of great info:

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
