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

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
