Back from my endoscopy with more questions than answers, LOL!

1st of all my GI is AMAZING.  Not only is he a great doc, but he also is just a great guy.  We had a great time, LOL!!

The findings were:
1) Hiatal hernia
2) Duodenal tissue looked normal, but he took 10 biopsies to be sure.
3) I may have Eosinophilic Esophagitis, which is an chronic allergic/immune response to a certain food (we don't know what it would be), leading to a buildup of the white blood cells eosiniophils. The evidence was from rings in my esophagus that shouldn't be there. Biopsies were taken to evaluate for that.

So now I wait. Only I would add another possibility onto my crazy health situation, LOL!!! He was baffled by my positive TTG celiac blood test, if the biopsy comes back negative. But at least they can see that there is SOMETHING going on in there, and that my body is reacting to something. Now we just to see if it's gluten, or if it's something else.

He did recommend a 2 week trial of a gluten free diet to see if it helped alleviate any symptoms.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
