Endoscopy

Hello guys

My Mum had an endoscopy a while back and she's trying to recollect what was said (she has NO memory - or so it seems).  She said the Dr described lines that he doesn't normally see and is indicative of something a ruther.  She can't remember what he said.  

Does that sound anything like what Celiac disease can look like?

Why not ask the doctor?  Or request the procedure report and the pathology (biopsy) report?  Usually you need the microscopic biopsy report to diagnose Celiac.  After anesthesia, people often can't remember.

THanks Kareng.  I can't request anything because it's her report.  I've asked her numerous times but she's just unable to remember.  I was hoping it rang some bells but maybe not.  I'm constantly begging her to be tested for Celiac disease.  Instead she battles every other known possible impact of celiacs disease but continues eating gluten.

I meant - why not help her to request the report?  Or go with her to the doctor.  No memory after anesthesia is normal.   That is why they ask for a family member to be there to hear what the doctor said and drive the patient home.  Maybe the person who was with her would remember?

She's a bit hopeless and doesn't take much care of her health.  I keep wanting to help but ultimately, it's a puzzle without all the pieces.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
