Endoscopy Pics!

Ok so I know you guys probably can't tell by the endoscopy pics alone, but the doctor said there was some unusual irritation and there were these little bumps that he was suspicious of. We should have the official results of the microscope analysis within 3-4 days!! Any opinions?

I perform basic cytology in clinic on pets - impression smears and needle aspirates...you can never tell visually by endoscopy what is going on at a cellular level. You need a microscope and special stains. Its hard but you wont know until histopathology reports come back.

What is evident visually is inflammation and damage to the intestinal wall. I can't tell if the images are from the antrum , the duodenum or how far down the small intestine. If it is just past the outlet for the stomach then it could be acid damage from stomach acid (duodentitis)...or celiac (denuded intestinal wall is often inflammed). There are other conditions that cause malabsorbtion - only way is to examine biopsies. (Lymphocytic/eosinophilic enteritis is one condition we see).

I know you're anxious...we are waiting on blood test results for Lupus and I want to hang around the fax machine at the doctors office til they come in but apparently that would be considered a little whacko... :huh:;):D

Let us know what they say.

I just have to giggle here.... this post, oddly enough, reminded me of the first time I met my husband's parents.

His mother was very excited to meet me... and she wanted to share all sorts of things from Dh's life with me. One of the first things she showed me was photos from an endoscopy that he'd had as a teenager. I had trouble sleeping that night, LOL!!!

The pics from the endoscopy, alone, won't really tell you much at all with regards to Celiac. The information is going to be found in the actual biopsies. I know it's hard to wait for an answer... and I hope you have yours soon!

one of my daughters had white bumps similar to those. the doc told us it was either food allergies or a fungal infection. it turned out to be a fungal infection.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
