Endoscopy results Normal. Does it mean I'm not Coeliac?

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and the consultants report has shown that my Oesophagus, Stomach and Duodenum are all normal. 3 Biopsies have been taken from my Duodenum and I'm now awaiting results. But if everything appears normal via endoscopy, surely this would mean there is no damage and the likelihood of coeliac is very low? 

 

Just to add my Bloods were extremely high and I've eaten gluten up to the endoscopy.

 

Has anyone else experienced similar results? I was looking forward to finally having answers, but now I'm more confused then ever 🤦‍♂️.

Damage cannot always be seen visually. It depends on the magnification of the endoscope.  That is why biopsies are taken.

Oh right. I was under the impression it would be noticeable from the off with smooth appearance due to the lack of Villi. I have a follow up appointment on the 2nd of Feb where I'll hopefully have a final diagnosis. Thank you for updating me.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.

      Maltodextrin is typically made from corn.
