Being diagnosed

Hi,

im just wondering how long you all waited for your results for endoscopy biopsy? I rang the lab today and apparently they have already been sent to my gp! That seems really quick to me!

Also what were your symptoms?

i went gluten free about 10 years ago. Was having stomach issues. Did every test but the endoscopy (I chickened out). Fast forward stomach issues returned. So return for a bunch of tests. Got diagnosed with Hashimotos. So Doc recommended confirming celiac. Gluten challenged. Omg that really sucked! Crippling pain, tired all the time. Toilet drama, I looked pregnant, so much so that people actually asked! So bloated!

Gong to Gp tomorrow...

My biopsy results came very quickly, I think 2 or 3 days.

There  are over 200 symptoms that are attributed to celiac disease.  Some experience many of those symptoms and some NONE at all.  Factor in the fact that these symptoms overlap with many other illinesses and you can see why symptoms can not diagnose celiac disease.  Best to get tested for antibodies.  How long was your challenge?  Experts recommend 8 to 12 weeks for the blood tests and 2 to 4 weeks for the endoscopy.

You have Hashimoto’s, so celiac disease is possible.  Ten years of being gluten free should in theory mean a healed gut.    Maybe your current symptoms are related to Hashimoto’s or a new autoimmune issue.  That is what happened to me.  I am diagnosed with celiac disease, went on a gluten free diet.  I have a healed small intestine 5 years later as confirmed by a  recent endoscopy/biopsies.  I started having stomach issues and though I was  getting exposed to gluten.  Nope, my endoscopy results proved that theory was wrong.  The endoscopy did catch autoimmune gastritis.

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.

      Manitol and mri

      I wasn’t clear, glucagon and gadolinium were intravenous. I drank about 5 cups of the prep during 45 minutes. I feel very tired now, probably partly because I was nervous, and partly because I had to fast for 6 hours beforehand and wasn’t very hungry when I got home.

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      The solution I had to drink contained sorbitol and mannitol. I was in the MRI, lying on my back, for about 40 minutes. I was given glucagon partway through, and a gadolinium contrast agent. After I got home there was some diarrhea from the prep solution.
