Second biopsy

Hi

 I got my second biopsy results and the GI said It is Celiac. 

I had low positive blood test , no symptoms and First biopsy was nonspecific 

 

This time the results are also non specific but the Gi said no other diagnose is possible, ONLY CELIAC,  due to the results:

 

"DOUDENAL MUCOUS SHOWING BLUNTING OF VILLI 

INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES

INCREASED CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IN LAMINA PROPRIA  

THR FINDINGING ARE NON-SPESIFIC AND RAISED DD including CELIAC DISEASE , SEVERE BACTERIAL OVERGROWTH , CHRONIC MALNUTRITION  "

 

 - i would like to know if it is reasonable to diagnose Celiac if the finding are non spesific again ?

 - Do i have damage to the villi already  ?

- Are there other disease that can cause similar results ?( diabetic . crone ?)

 

Thank you !

Low positive on blood test then "DOUDENAL MUCOUS SHOWING BLUNTING OF VILLI " YEP you have it, welcome to the club you never wanted to join. Damaged vili..yeah that is the blunting.....

This disease is easy to manage with diet, and supplements for awhile til they heal enough to get nutrients again. Taking care of this now before other complications, AI diseases, etc set is is a must.....Read the Newbie 101 to get a idea where to start with cleaning out the house, reading labels and changing over.
For ease of transtation and boosted healing, whole foods only diet for now, avoid processed foods, avoid dairy and oats. You will soon be on the wagon to healing, it normally gets a bit rough before it gets better and you might notice some symptoms come up in the first few weeks as your body cleans out. Stick with it and look forward.  I will post some helpful links. If you have any other symptoms or need help we are here for you.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
