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.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
