Endoscopy results

I have had bowel problems for quite a few years, urgency for bathroom. Also upper stomache pain with nausea keeping me awake at night intermittently.  I had an endoscopy last Thursday and initial findings were oesophagitis (uk) and hiatus hernia. I had a biopsy taken and need to wait 3 weeks for the result. My bloods were negative but I do have Hashimotos and possibly RA as well. Is it likely that the oesophagitis would have caused my bowel problems or has anyone else had this and biopsy has been positive for celiac?.

Looks like you need to wait for the biopsy results.  Are you sure your antibodies blood tests were all negative?  Did you have the TTG, EMA and DGP (IgA and IgG versions)?  Not all celiacs test positive on the more commonly used and cost effective TTG (like me).

Hi. I'm not sure which test I had at Gp's. She Just said they had tested and come back negative. I have tested myself on a couple of home tests that also came back negative and not sure what they test for?. I have been gluten free now for 6 days so can't  retest. Like you say will have to wait for biopsy results to come in. Thanks for the reply

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Sadly, I just now see the extremely tiny and hard to read wording on the label from some I got from nuts.com last year and it's below the certified gluten free sign which is more obvious. Another concern is that there's no expiration date to be found on any of the packages I have gotten.. It's confusing because they claim these are certified gluten free which Is why I got them due to having celiac. Looks like Tierra Farm has the lesser of the allergens, specifically wheat, so I will have to give them a try. Thanks

      Gluten-Free Picnics--It Seems Like There Should Be More of Them!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      After many years of running Celiac.com, one thing I've noticed is that I rarely hear about support groups that organize gluten-free picnics. It seem like this would be a great way to get celiacs together. I've attended various conferences, meetings, and events over the years, but strangely, no gluten-free picnics.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By RMJ · Posted

      It took me 5 years to get one of my celiac antibodies down into the normal range.  A few years later it went up to a low positive. I had started baking with a certain gluten free flour. When I switched to a certified gluten free flour the antibody level went back down to normal. Has anything changed in your diet, supplements, kitchen, etc. that might correlate with the increase?
