Hi I had blood test done about 6 weeks ago for celiac and my results came back at 262

I've had headaches migraines fatigue diarrhoea loose smelling stools constipation acid reflux ...

just had and endoscopy took 6 biopsies

They found a hiatus hernia small one

and acid in the stomac with ulcers which is treatable with some ppl medication for 6 weeks.

 

how long do biopsy's take to get back?

but they booked me an appointment for 3 weeks times.

my sister seems to think she got her results on the day!

What's are they chances I could have i have it? 

thanks

It only takes a day or two to process the biopsies, but how long it takes probably depends on how busy the laboratory is that processed them and how busy the pathologist is who reads them.

What is the normal range for your test results?  I see in another post that you say it is a high positive.

Having several relatives with celiac disease increases the chance that you have it.

Hi thanks for the reply the doc said anything between 1-10 is normal and 40 is considered high. He said I was a high positive with 262.

and apparently I have a few small bengin superficial chronic non bleeding DU's in duopdenal bulb (ulcers) Not to sure on what that means and wether it's another celiac symptom or not? Small sliding hiatus hernia and acid in the stomach been giving PPI'S ( omperazle) to treat the acid and ulcers.

 

Thanks

Doctors are now diagnosing celiac disease with blood tests only when someone is 5-10x higher than the cut off range for celiac disease. Your range is 6.5 times higher, so I would assume you have celiac disease.

More about this is in this article:

Don't let them put you on antacids, PPI's, etc., except for a VERY short term to heal.  I had a doc try to prescribe me that, bragging that he takes it every day, real athletic young guy...and when I said...but we need acid in our stomachs to break down the vitamins especially D so that our intestine can absorb them!...He went silent.  The info with the drugs says they are not to be taken long term.  So I first took OTC antacids for about a week so I wasn't miserable, then fixed it by following this article:

https://drjockers.com/hiatal-hernia/

These things worked great for me:

1.  thumping on heels with full stomach (recommend emptying bladder first, although the article says otherwise)

2.  raising head of bed a few inches by placing on wood blocks or two 2x4's

3.  ***taking a sip of apple cider vinegar before each meal with protein (we need acid to digest and get vitamins!)

4.  ***DGL chewable tablets after a meal helps soothe/coat, it's almost instant relief.  I like this one because it has the least sugar I have found:

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It...

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity...

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
