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

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Fighting for a name

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
