Inflammation found in stomach biopsies at time of celiacs diagnoses

[Lyns5201]

I may have posted something along these lines before but just wondering if anyone else has experienced biopsies of stomach(specifically the antrum/lower stomach)  at time of celiac diagnoses coming back as showing mild chronic stomach inflammation?is this common in undiagnosed celiac and something that usually gets better on a gluten free diet?is it possible the irritation from celiac could spread to lower part of the stomach??

Others have reported this symptom, so it could definitely be related to your recent celiac diagnosis:

Hopefully it will clear up on a gluten-free diet, and I guess the only way to know for sure would be to get a follow up biopsy after several months or a year.

I’m just so scared this may not resolve on a gluten free diet and it’s been so painful and hard to live with I’ve had so many appointments and so many tests done at this point and can’t figure out what else would be causing the inflammation...I’m feeling a bit hopeless at this point as my symptoms don’t seem to be common in other celiacs..

I think there is a lot to be hopeful about. You've found out that gluten is essentially toxic for you, and have hopefully transitioned to a 100% gluten-free diet (usually this means that you should avoid eating out unless you're sure the meal isn't cross-contaminated). From what I know about celiac disease it could very well cause inflammation throughout your digestive tract, including the stomach issues you have. I think you need to get it some time, and consider taking anti-inflammatory supplements like gluten-free turmeric (with meals).

Okay...Thankyou so much for the reassurance and advice,yes I’ve been very strictly gluten free and don’t eat out right now.I will look into getting some turmeric. Thanks again 😊💛
