Decreased folds in duodenum endoscopy

So I have been gluten free for 6 years because it made me barf and very sick..... the doctors then just found the cause and said I was gluten intolerance. They did not run any tests at all but I responded very well to the gluten-free diet up until 6 months ago I became getting sick again. Dairy and fructose seem to be the trigger foods I think but the tests for them were negative.... bring on gluten-free for so long my doctor knew test won't be a 100% diagnosed because I have ate it in 6yrs.. 

 

 

 

The endoscopy showed I decreased  folds in my duodenum but won't my vili be fine since I haven't ate it.... I just want to figure out the problem.... 

 

What causes decreased folds?

First, I want to hare my tale.   I got sick last summer.  Abdominal pain, vomiting, hives, rashes (not DH), passing out, itching even without a rash), lost my abilty to consume lactose, pretty much anything I ate hurt to digest.  I was a mess.  I suspected gluten, but how?  My hubby did not get glutened.  I have been keeping not just me, but him safe (15 years for him).  I knew the gluten-free diet inside and out.   I suspected a glutening but wasn't sure that it really was gluten.  I rarely eat out (and did not then since I was going on vacation to my parent's house and I would not take the risk of being ill on the plane.) 

My symptoms were severe.  Weird because I presented with anemia and no gut issues when I was initially diagnosed.   My GI suspected SIBO, but I asked for him to run the celiac panel to rule out gluten as the culprit.    Yep, I was glutened.  My anitbodies were off the chart!  But what got me?  Something that my hubby never had.  That would be one product and one prescription.  I can tell you that I am not going to test them out to detemine which one got me.  Both did not have gluten ingredients.  The prescription drug was confirmed by me when I called the manufacturer.  I decided to never consume those two items again.  Maybe they were mis-labeled.  Maybe cross contamination occurred.  Who knows?  

It took me three months to heal.  Another three to regain lost weight and for those rashes and hives to calm down.  

I know you said you have been gluten free, but really check.  

Decreased folds is associated with celiac disease.  Consider asking for a celiac blood panel even though you think you have been gluten free.

I had the blood test done years ago and it was negative. And they said it was just gluten intolerance so I never worried about cross contamination and all that. In a way I'm hoping something will show up in my biopsies so I will watch the cross contamination and all that of it truly have celiac. I never because sick from it.. but when I do have a bite of something with gluten I'm sick..

So I'm not sure what's is going on been trying to figure it out for the last 6 months..... can the flu cause decreased folds? I haven't had the flu but it's a thought. Or sibo?  They tested me for sibo but it was negative 

 

 

 

I'm starting to get the impression  that this is all in my head

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

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

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

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      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...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      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).
