How long does it take for Biopsy results to come in?

Hello again, you may have seen my previous thread! I appreciate everyone who gave the kind words! I had my biopsy done today (wasn't the best experience, but wasn't that bad either). The Doctor came in before the operation and asked me some questions. She told me that I wasn't 100% diagnosed and that she suspected what I had. But didn't tell me what. She said a biopsy was the "Golden Rule" for figuring out if you're a Celiac. After the procedure, she didn't talk to me again and I left the hospital soon after. All I got from her was a standard note saying I should make an appointment 10-14 days from now. She also wrote that my esophagus and stomach weren't abnormal.

   I'm probably worrying over nothing, but I still worry I might have cancer or something else like that. Does it usually take that long for an appointment?

No that sounds absolutely normal Nino. I wouldn't worry. You need to allow time for the biopsy to be analysed by a specialist and for the admin stuff that happens around that to take place. 

If they did suspect cancer they'd move quicker. Instead they're proceeding at the regular pace that a busy clinic/lab would normally move at. 

I would stay on gluten till your appointment with the doctor just in case they order another test, but that's just me others may disagree.

Best of luck!

Ah, I see. Thank you! I'll keep on gluten until the appointment, just in case as you said.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
