Could someone please help explain my test results. 23 y/o female with no clue what I am dealing with. Diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (recently hospitalized for 8 days :( ) and recieved call to come in to see nutritionists. Really all I was told was cut out gluten immediately. Any help is appreciated. Attached is a screen shot of my tests.

Welcome!  I am sorry that you have been so ill.  

The first set of tests are positive for celiac disease.  Normally, the next step is to confirm via biopsy/endoscopy to access for villi damage.  Are you under a Gastroentrologist's care?  I ask because the second test Reticulin is very very old and no longer used to test for celiac disease.  I hope you did not have to pay for that test.  Here is some information about it:

It looks like a NP ordered these tests.  You should really have a medical doctor look at your results.  Often, many do not go forward with the endoscopy because of financial reasons or they are just too ill.  Is this your case?

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
