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:

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
