Colitis or Microscopic Colitis

Hello everyone,

The good news is that my celiac is now in remission judging by my latest endoscopy/biopsy. 

The bad news is a colonoscopy shows colitis. Now, I'm assuming it's no ulcerative as my GI doc said my colon looks great. So, I'm assuming it's microscopic. I don't really know much about it, though.

Had anyone gone through a celiac diagnosis only to be hit with colitis? Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Oh, ok. I don't know my latest antibody numbers. I'll have to get them done again. 

I was just told that my villi have grown back. Does that not mean remission?

Thanks

Hi Charles,

Yes, the regrowth of the villi should mean your celiac disease is in remission.  At least until you consume a tiny bit of gluten that is.

I think they sometimes treat colitits with budosenide?  I know some forum members were taking that drug.  So might search on that and find some info.

      Is it gluten?

      By nanny marley · Posted

      I was also told I had IBS years ago like literally it's just IBS the docter said I've had lots of  the symptoms you say there plus much more but I'm convinced it's not just IBS although I feel very sorry for people who get told this too because IBS is a real problem for people too it's awfull how much ignorance is around in the world these days from docters try the elimination diet like I did gluten free I also did lactose because it was still bothering me I found a real big change I've read some members here say  it can be quite hard to get a diagnosis and help but there is plenty of self help here it's not wrong to self diagnose if you find that it truly is a Life changer be true to your own needs and ask people already suffering for advise it's about your quality of life now and for future this us were I'm heading if I have no luck with docters I will have luck helping myself 🤗

Sensitive area to touch  Alot of mucus when passing stools  Feel sick    Had tests done but all came back okay apart from low in vitamin d

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:
