Does anyone have experience with the finding of "fundal adenomyomatosis" . "Mild wall thickening and punctate calcification of the gallbladder fundus which may represent fundal adenomyomatosis. The biliary tree is nondilated.

 

Thanks,

 

Colleen

Not sure I have the answer but don't mess with gallbladder issues my husband just got out of the Hosp. from gallbladder surgery they were supposed to do the Divinci surgery thru the belly button (1hole)  his gall bladder was un recognizable , so then they tried the laproscopic way, nope still couldn't recognize it. So they went in the good old fashioned way. What was supposed to be 1 1/2 hr. turned into a 5 hr. deal and a wake up in ICU. he was in ICU for 3 days and in the hosp. for 5. Finally home and just got his 30 staples out on Monday. All that thickening your talking about he had. His intestines were attached to his gallbladder also. He's lucky with all the infection he had he made it thru this. A friend of ours was telling us her grandfather passed away from the same thing. Nothing to mess with!

Hi Wendy, thanks for your reply.  

 

The previous scan I had of that region showed the gall bladder being completely normal.  time span was 7 months.  My Oncologist doesn't think it has anything to do with my cancer, so that's good.  Unfortunatlely,  Oncologists don't worry about anything unless it's connected to cancer.  I think I have an appointment coming up with my GP and I'll show the scan info to him.  I want to be knowledgeable on the subject so he can't gloss over anything on me.

Sorry, Colleen, I checked my hospital records and other than ejection rate did not find anything else. The surgeon told me verbally that it was "hot" meaning infected. Other family members were told that their gallbladders were damaged, but I do not recall them mentioning wall thickness. In any case, no one in my family ever had their gallbladders removed based on standard tests other than the HIDA showing ejection rates or infection. It is a curse and I think it is related to celiac disease, but that is just my opinion since most will not get tested for celiac disease!!!

One Aunt just went gluten-free per the advice of her chiropractor and found relief. Her daughter had an endo only without blood test or biopsy, but went gluten-free because her mom had found relief. Both are doing great except for accidental glutenings. Both had the GBs removed too.

Curse = 6 out of seven siblings, oldest five grandchildren had surgery to date.

Thanks for your reply.  As far as I know, no one in Family has had any gall bladder issues.  But then again, no one has cancer...lol.  I'm the Special one in the Family I guess.   I understand the gall bladder works with the Immune System?  Is that correct?

It is a reservoir for bile, but it can be attacked by your immune system. I suppose it could have immune properties as well but that is beyond my scope of knowledge.

Here is a good article:

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
