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.

      If you were wondering why milk protein bothers you with Celiac Disease.  Commercial dairies supplement the cow feed with wheat, which becomes incorporated in the milk protein. Milk omega 6 to omega 3 ratio: Commercial Dairies: 5:1 Organic Milk: 3:1 Grass fed milk: 1:1

      My TMJ ended when I lost a middle lower molar.  I had an amalgam filling from youth (1960s) that failed and the tooth broke.  I had what was left pulled and did not bother to replace it.  My bite shifted and the TMJ went away.  I just had to be careful eating M&M Peanuts because they would get stuck in the hole.

      Yes, I wondered about the units as well. That large number sure looked more like what we're used to seeing in connection with total IGA scores rather than TTG-IGA. The total IGA test is given to determine if you are IGA deficient. In the case of IGA deficiency, other IGA tests will b skewed and their scores cannot be trusted. Elevated total IGA can point to other health issues, some of them potentially serious, or it can mean nothing. But it doesn't look like you have celiac disease.

      So, since total iga 646, was high ,  was tTg iga even tested? It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.
