Heres My Neg. Endo. Path Report

Recommended Posts

Everything on it says it's normal except this one thing...

 

For : Biopsy GE Junction it says 

-gastric-type mucosa, no evidence of intestinal metaplasia

-chronic inflammation, mild

 

So where do I have chronic inflamation?? Is that just my GERD diagnoses?? Or my hiatal hernia??

 

btw, my doctors talk about it as if GERD and a hiatal hernia are the same thing...I'm confused!

 

Thanks.

That might be GERd but it doesn't mention a hernia. Is there more to this? Where are the multiple intestinal biopsies? Didn't they take any?

Surgical procedure:

EGD with biopsies; colonoscopy with biopsies

 

Tissues:

 

A. Duodenum, NOS

B. Gastric antrum

C. gastro-esophageal junction

D. colon - random colon

 

Diagnosis

 

A. Biopsy Duodenum --

    --  Duodenal mucosa (19 fragments) without evidence of villous blunting or active inflammation

 

B. Biopsy Gastric Antrum --

    --  Antral mucosa without inflammation

    --  Negative for helicobacter pylori

 

C. Biopsy GE junction --

    --  gastric-type mucosa, no evidence of intestinal metaplasia

    --  Chronic inflammation, mild

 

D. Random colon biopsy --

    --  colonic mucosa, no evidence of lymphocytic or collagenous colitis

    --  no evidence of active inflammation

Microscopic description:

 

A. Sections are of nineteens fragments of colonic mucosa shoing a villous architecture. An underlying lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltrate is present. Active inflammation or villous blunting is not evident.

 

B. Sections are of the gastric antral mucosa are without inflammation. Special stains for helicobacter pylori are negative.

 

C. Sections of the GE junction consist of fragments of gastric-type mucosa with adjacent squamous mucosa. The gastric component does not show any intestinal metaplasia. Mild chronic inflammation is present.

 

D. Sections are of fragments of colonic mucosa in which the glandular pattern is uniform. There is a diffuse mild lymphocytic and plasmacytic infiltrate throughout the lamina propria. The trichrome stain does not show thickening of the basement membrane.

 

Note: All controls show appropriate reactivity.

For whoever reads through all this, thank you!! I underlined the descriptions that show something that seems abnormal, and I dont understand what it means.

Hey, thank you for sharing. 

Im no expert, but looks like everything's normal except the inflammation that you noted in the first post. You should be happy that everything looks good...now you don't have to worry. :) I'd definitely continue gluten, and dairy free. Maybe even watch your sugar for a while....and make sure your taking a good probiotic. There are so many out there, not all of them are good. 

I'm happy that you know what's going on now...I'm looking forward to getting there myself. I feel so horrible, and I look like Shamu the whale lol. I've bloated and swelled up so much! Have a bout a month left, I figured since I've been on gluten for a couple months now, that Im just going to eat two pieces of toast in the morning. Lol, there's no need to engorge myself for this diagnosis. 

 

Good luck Tayni!

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
