Hello everyone, 

I was going through some paperwork and found my sons biopsy results. The dr said the biopsies don't suggest coeliac. Wondering if I'm right in suspecting that it indicates early coeliac?

He is 9 and had low positive bloods and has responded well to gluten free diet. 

My older son will most likely be seeing the same dr in a few weeks and I want to have as much info on my side as possible. 

Thanks to everyone who has responded on my other threads. 

Biopsy:

6 fragments of duodenal mucosa. One or two slightly short villi are present. There appears to be mild crypt elongation in two fragments with mild nuclear hyperchromasia but significant crypt branching is not seen. Parasites or granulomas are not present. 

Thanks

You need to get another GI opinion.  I am not a doctor, but it really seems like you have two celiacs in your household.  I do not know why doctors are so reluctant to diagnose celiac disease until there is severe damage.

      Hey Talia4, I still try to stay on the lower end of carb intake but things are way easier for me these days. It really looks like a digestive issue at the core in my case   As supplements with meals I'm now taking 3-4x 650mg betaine hcl without pepsin (to handle larger doses) 1-2x Doctor's Best digestive enzymes   And daily Share Pommelozzini. This has helped my digestion immensely with carbs and fats. I'm way more tolerant of larger meals and things are a lot easier. Happy to hear any progress or findings on your end as well though!

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.
