Would A Colonoscopy Show Cd?

I had my first colonoscopy about 6 months ago, everything was fine. My questionl is, if there were villi damage from possible celiac disease, would the doctor who did the colonoscopy see it, or if he saw it would he know what was going on and alert me? Or since he wasn't looking for this, would it escape his notice or would it be really noticeable and he would have commented on it? Just wondering...

A colonoscopy won't show villi damage due to celiac disease, but a biopsy during an endoscopy (inspecting the small intestine) might...it can rule it in, but you could have celiac disease even without a positive biopsy. That's what I've gathered...hth!

If they go far enough, they can get biopsies of the small intestine during a colonoscopy; however, the biopsies are at the end of the small intestine where there would probably be little villi damage. Villi damage usually occurs near the first part of the small intestine and an endoscopy is the best procedure to obtain a biopsy of this region.

You need an endoscopy.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.

      I’m in a flare up with rib pain. I read where others have experienced this after exposure to gluten.  Has anyone found something that eases the pain.
