Endoscopy shows no signs of celiac

My dad was diagnosed 10 years ago with Celiac.  He has been eating a gluten free diet ever since.  He recently had an endoscopy done because he has problems with GERD.  The doctor took a biopsy.  He just got his results and it says no evidence of Celiac disease.  Does this mean that he still has Celiac but because he has been eating gluten free, there is no evidence of it?

Yes.  He has healed!  But if he eats gluten, he will get sick again

Yes, I agree with Karen (and so do all celiac experts).  He still has celiac disease (lifelong), but he has healed.    What did  they say about his GERD?  Gastritis?  Was H. Pylori ruled out?   I ask because my recently endoscopy (five years gluten free after my celiac disease diagnosis), revealed a healed small intestine, but that I have chronic Autoimmune gastritis.

I hope they did biopsies to look for EOE. It can occur anywhere in the digestive tract, not limited to the esophagus.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
