Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung!

I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet.

This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Confusion about my son's results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      High school and starting a 504plan in FLORIDA

      By Ballerinagirl4 · Posted

      Hello,, Our daughter is a new diagnosis and I have requested a 504 plan to help her navigate her condition.  What are some accommodations people have requested and how are your students doing?  For example we have high school professors that do not allow students to use the restroom more than 3 time a semester? What happens if your student has a unsuspected gluten "episode" are they able to leave school to recover with out jumping through hoops like doctors appointments while she recovers AND the absence is excused. Thanks so much

      Does Celiac disease affect blood pressure?

      By trents · Posted

      Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from celiac disease tends to be global. So, if you are low in one or two things that have been tested, you are likely low in other vitamins and minerals as well. Routinely, we the admins on this forum recommend to those celiacs who were undiagnosed for years to supplement with sublingual B12, a high-potency B-complex, D3 (5000 to 10,000 IU daily), magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important for optimum absorption and also to prevent a laxative effect) and zinc picolinate (the form is important). Please realize that an adult multivitamin is just not strong enough to effectively correct severe and long-standing deficiencies.  Make sure all supplements are gluten free. If you have access to a Costco store, there Kirkland Signature products and Nature Made lines are good choices, good quality, fairly economical and will specify on the label if they are gluten free. Many of them are gluten free.  I'm assuming your doctors have checked your potassium levels since you have been on blood pressure meds. Some of them will leach potassium from the body and potassium is a critical element in cardiac health. Also, many blood pressure meds cause coughing in a significant percentage of people: https://bloodpressureexplained.com/blood-pressure-medications-that-cause-coughing/

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      So interesting @Ccoast Celiac that you have experienced the same issue as @MO1984 with the same manufacturer. I don't have any "gut issues" that I can feel, but my bloodwork is out of wack. I have an endo scheduled shortly, and hope there is no sign of damage! Wondering if you have had bloodwork done that shows problems.
