Nope, doesn't look like celiac disease but if you have celiac-like symptoms you may very well have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

Thanks,  kinda freaked out with what the other stuff says or means in the biopsy,  tried googling but it's pretty confusing.

Hyperplasia of the Brunner's gland means it is enlarged. These glands reside in the small bowel

"Brunner’s glands are duodenal glands localized predominantly in the submucosa of proximal duodenum. They secrete alkaline fluid composed of mucin (Muc-6) which protects duodenal epithelium by counteracting the acid chime from stomach".

It is possibly working overtime to counteract excess acid in the stomach? Earlier in the thread you describe a problem with burning in your stomach.

Well, you LES (Lower Esophagial Sphincter) must be sealing the top of the stomach off well and not allowing stomach juices to get up into the esophagus. And there was no mention of a hiatal hernia in the report.

Hey guys new here, I've flet horrible and can't seem to get any answers, just trying to see if this is possible celiac or something else. So this long road started about 7yrs ago my daughter got real sick and I started having burning stomach and lost some weight and such, so started going to Dr, for blood work and I got fobed off. Well since then I've had more issues and I'm still only diagnosed with gastritis and ibs. About 3 yrs agoI had CT scan all Clear, colonoscopy all clear, endoscopy with biospy showed mild chronic gastritis, blood work always good except slightly high mpv 11.7 with 11.6 as the standard. My symptoms include burning stomach, abdomen pain, back pain, bloating, tons of gas, white tongue, large sticky stool, floating stool, constipation, loose stool, I'm sure a few things I'm missing. Anyways had a celiac blood test done recently, and I'm scheduled for another endoscopy in 2 weeks. Here's my test results. I did go in today and ask for a total iga serum test, waiting on results. Thanks! 

Ttg iga neg .5<15

Ttg igg neg .8<15

Diam igg neg .4<15

Diam iga pos 22.5

I just got my results too and I’m so confused because my Ttg iga was “positive” at 4 because the reference used was weak positive 4-10

Well had my appointment yesterday,  Dr said everything is normal..... Like how is that even possible! Now he's thinking either sibo or pancreatic enzyme issues

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
