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.

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @science enthusiast Christi! I don't have a problem with disaccharides but I do with polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates which are so common in many gluten free processed foods. Gar gum, xanthan gum, pea fiber, chicory root, inulin etc. All those "prebiotics".

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Hey Celiac friends, I'm wondering how weird I am. About a year ago, I started getting bloated all the time and having extremely smelly gas. Lots of it. I had to avoid people, keep windows open, etc. It really upended my life in a somewhat horrifying way. I figured out that if I didn't eat any sugar, the symptoms mostly resolved. With more experimentation...

Having good and bad days but recently having a bout of lower back pain, bloating, some abdominal discomfort with a feeling of pressure. She’s doing her best with gluten free and finally has an appointment with the dietitian this week, also waiting to have several blood tests done. Have told her it takes time for things to settle but she’s worried it might be recurrence of an ovarian cyst from 2/3 years ago.

      Hey Celiac friends,  I'm wondering how weird I am. About a year ago, I started getting bloated all the time and having extremely smelly gas. Lots of it. I had to avoid people, keep windows open, etc. It really upended my life in a somewhat horrifying way. I figured out that if I didn't eat any sugar, the symptoms mostly resolved. With more experimentation, I found out that I'm intolerant to any disaccharides (things with sucrose, maltose) and some starches. I've since figured my small intestine stopped making some digestive enzymes. Since Celiac causes the immune system to attack the small intestine, I wonder if I was getting low-level gluten contamination from my environment. (My family eats gluten in our home, and I have to use a shared kitchen at work for lunch.)  I am apparently among the 2% of Celiacs who also have a similar reaction to soy. I've been avoiding both gluten and soy for over a decade now, but sometimes you just get poisoned. For example, I love my houseplants and bought an insect-preventing spray online. After spraying it on all my houseplants, I found out it has soybean oil. Sure enough, two days later I was sick. Soy is such a big ingredient used in everything, I doubt it's possible for me to avoid it completely. Everyone uses lotions with soy on their hands, so every doorknob and switch and item I touch is risky for me.  I was just wondering, has anyone else had carbohydrate intolerance after or related to Celiac? My doctor doesn't know anything about it, especially since I can still digest lactose. Wondering if there are other people out there with similar stories. If eating was complicated before, now it's a bit crazy to be honest.  Thanks, Community!
