Heartburn After Endoscopy


KBart

Recommended Posts

My daughter had the endoscopy yesterday and complained of sore throat but also heartburn yesterday evening and this morning. I know the sore throat is common but how about heartburn? Is that typically a symptom after an endoscopy? I'll talk to her doctor today but thought I would ask.

Also, how long should we expect a little bit lessening of symptoms from cutting gluten? Her main symptom is stomach pain. Thank you!

Could the heartburn be because she didn't eat for a while?  Or the valve that prevents the acid from coming up was irritated?  Both reasons should resolve in a few days or less.

Reducing symptoms from eliminating gluten? Hard to say since everyone heals differently. Personally, I felt better in six weeks (anemia was my main symptom but I ate gluten like crazy for seven weeks between my blood test and endoscopy which triggered gut issues). It took two years for me to feel really well, but I am old! I would imagine your daughter will heal much faster!

I'm glad to say the heartburn and sore throat went away. Her stomach still hurts and were on day 5 of gluten-free diet. I'm hoping and praying for more relief soon.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.
