What else can endoscopy detect

I have long suspected that I have a yeast overgrowth/candida. I have never come across a dr who thinks it possible never mind do any testing. Can anything like sibo or candida be een during endoscopy.

It's not uncommon for individuals to suspect yeast overgrowth or candida, especially given the range of symptoms they can cause. While endoscopy is a valuable tool for examining the upper digestive tract and identifying certain conditions like reflux, ulcers, and inflammation, it may not directly visualize or diagnose conditions like SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) or candida overgrowth in the same way.

For SIBO, specialized breath tests are often used to detect abnormal levels of bacteria in the small intestine. Candida overgrowth is typically diagnosed through a combination of symptoms assessment, medical history, and specific laboratory tests, such as stool tests or blood tests that measure antibodies.

If you're experiencing persistent symptoms and suspect these conditions, it may be beneficial to discuss your concerns with a healthcare provider who is knowledgeable about functional gastrointestinal disorders. They can recommend appropriate testing and treatment options tailored to your specific situation.

Thanks Scott. Just wondered about the test. Really not much question in my mind as to whether I have it  but I thought it would be cool if confirmed during test for celiac. The doctors I have seen over the years think I'm nuts when I ask about it so now I just go about my business.

      The issue is I'm not actually celiac but gluten intolerant. So do t know why I am so sick from this. It's been two days.

      The product is Certified Gluten-Free, but that does not mean they would be immune to any possible manufacturing issues: https://feel-good-foods.com/product/chicken-soup-dumplings/ As @trents mentioned, some people have issues with xanthan gum, even though it is gluten-free:

      Welcome to the forum, @ARSTONE! The ingredients are listed as follows: Chicken, Water, Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch), Contains 2% or less of: Canola and/or Sunflower Oil, Ginger, Scallions, Brown Sugar, Potato Starch, Rice Wine (Rice, Water, Salt), Chicken Soup Base (Chicken Meat with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Chicken Fat, Onion, Potato Flour, Turmeric, Spice Extractives), Konjac Flour, Xanthan Gum, Chicken Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Sesame Oil, Gelatin I have underlined the ingredients which could contain hidden sources of gluten. Xanthan Gum wouldn't contain gluten but it is a polysaccharide that is a common ingredient in prepackaged gluten free foods and poses digestive difficulties for many people. The same might be said for Konjac flour.  It is also possible that the product exceeds the specs for the FDA criteria of "gluten free" whose upper limit is 20 ppm of gluten. We are seeing this more often lately and many are calling for stricter sampling standards in the gluten free food industry such that testing is done more often.

      I recently ate a package of feel good brand gluten-free chicken soup dumplings. Immediately after eating them, my stomach became extremely extremely bloated and gassy and it's two days later now and I'm still extremely uncomfortable. They say there's gluten-free and there doesn't appear to be anything in the ingredients that I think would be the problem. Has anyone else eaten these and had this experience?
