Second biopsy


tali

Recommended Posts

tali Rookie

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.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
