Biopsy Tomorrow....finally!

After 2 months of being back on gluten my son's biopsy day has finally arrived. They are doing biopsies of the esophagus, stomach, and the duodenum to check for EE, EG, and celiac. My son did ok on his gluten challenge but we did have a huge difference (for the worse) in his attitude and behavior, as well as zero growth and increased frequency and severity of his headaches. I am so ready to see if GI can figure out what is going on!

Good luck!  Make sure they take at least six samples.

 

Let us know how it goes.

They are supposed to be doing 2-4 each from the esophagus and stomach and 6-8 from the duodenum.

We are finally home. The GI doc said it will take 7-14 days to get the biopsy results back. He did say that the duodenum and stomach looked good but also stated that looks don't mean anything until we get the biopsy results back. He did say there was some swelling and redness in the esophagus but he didn't see any real indication of it being caused by GERD. He biopsied that portion as well.

 

Fingers crossed we get some answers.

      @Healthierbody2026, as I said above, there is not a separate forum within this community for NCGS people and I do not know of one anywhere else. You sound uncertain whether your physician ordered blood tests for celiac disease or for diabetes. Do you have access online to your medical records and test results?

      @trents first response: can you direct me to that particular section of this site for NCGS or and are there any groups I can join for people with NCGS? second response: I can’t really remember due to it was some or a few years back but I believe she did blood tests or work on me or I think she did a glucose test on me.

      There is not a distinct section in this particular online resource and community devoted to those with NCGS. And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online.

And I cannot say with any certainty whether or not such a thing exists elsewhere online. But your question makes me think celiac.com might entertain the idea of starting a forum within our community for that purpose. I should explain that celiac.com is divided into a number of separate forums, each devoted to a different topic or concern within the gluten intolerant/gluten sensitive population. Having said that, the main is on those with celiac disease (or their support systems) rather than those with NCGS because it has more serious long-term health implications. I see. Can you elaborate on how you were tested to arrive at this diagnosis?
