What does all of this mean????

[CLAwesome]

These are the results from my endoscopy. I think it leans toward Celiac, however the doc said my blood test was negative (blood test was prior to endoscopy). 
 

Anyone have any idea what these results are saying?

“Small intestinal mucosa with focal mild increase intraepithelial lymphocytes and preserved villous architecture.”

“Gastric mucosa with minimal chronic inflammation”

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

If you had a positive blood test for celiac disease, which is the normal first test done before an endoscopy for celiac disease, then those results combined with "focal mild increase intraepithelial lymphocytes" likely means that you have celiac disease. Of course your doctor would need to confirm this, however, there are many doctors out there who seem reluctant to make a diagnosis in borderline cases, and some doctors are now using a newer term of "mild" or "borderline" celiac disease--a diagnosis that just leaves patients scratching their heads and wanting to keep eating gluten, which I believe in most cases to be a mistake.

Feel free to share your blood test results with the reference ranges if you have those, as this would provide us with much more info.

“Preserved billows architecture” and minimal inflammation probably means you are not celiac. Not a doc, but that looks good to me.
