Finally Got The Scope Done...phew!

Now we all just feel like taking naps! :) It was a very early morning for us and even more so for my poor husband that is just coming off 3rd shift. Add in a 2.5 hour drive both ways and we're pretty fried.

 

Anyway...due to the holiday we won't get the biopsy results until Monday or Tuesday. She said she saw some scalloping (wth does that even mean?) but nothing that she thought was serious. So....now we wait. She told me to just go ahead and keep eating regular (which we will for at least tomorrow, given the holiday) until next week.  But after the 4th we'll start working on going gluten free.

 

We will go gluten free regardless. I don't trust that a biopsy is the end all be all of the testing....he came back with positive blood work and that's enough for me. I'm personally not willing to take the chance and then find out in 10 years that we've been destroying his intestines and he is in fact Celiac.

 

So...there we are. Just waiting again. Now, I'm off to take a nap. :) Thanks for all the support everyone!

i am pretty sure that scalloping is indicative of celiac.

Notme is correct.......scalloping happens with Celiac so with positive blood work, I say....Welcome to the Club!  :D

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).

      While spices, lentils, beans and chickpeas are naturally gluten-free, the main concern with any brand is cross-contamination during processing and packaging. Since Suraj doesn't appear to certify their products as gluten-free or use dedicated gluten-free facilities, there is some risk of trace gluten exposure, especially with their corn flour which could be milled on shared equipment with gluten-containing grains. For absolute safety, I'd recommend looking for brands that are certified gluten-free by organizations like GFCO - good options include McCormick for spices, TruRoots or Bob's Red Mill for lentils and beans, and Anthony's for corn flour. That said, if you need to use Suraj products, be...

      Dapsone, commonly prescribed for dermatitis herpetiformis (the itchy gluten-related skin condition), comes with several potential side effects that patients should monitor. The most frequent issues include blood-related problems like hemolytic anemia (especially in those with G6PD deficiency, which is more common in certain ethnic groups) and methemoglobinemia that can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, or bluish skin. Many patients also experience headaches, nausea, dizziness, or skin sensitivity to sunlight. While these effects are often manageable, there are rare but serious risks including dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (with fever, rash and organ inflammation), liver...
