I don't know if I a glutening again or if I ate some bad food, stomach virus. or what. Since i woke up I have had horrible, severely urgent diarrhea and stomach cramps. It literally feels like I am on fire! I can't take it anymore. I simply must find a better, more helpful doctor soon! :(

I'm sorry Walter, I feel for you. I do know how you feel. I can't remember how long you have been gluten free. If you did get glutened, then this will happen. I wish I had an instant cure for you.

Feel better.

Walter, do you have any meds that they are giving you for your Crohns? Have you verified that they are gluten free?

You have two things kickin here. Some how, you need to divide one from the other. Battling two things at one time I am sure is a challenge.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hugs, Walter :)

I agree that it's time to find a new doctor. There has to be something that can be done for you.

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

      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.

      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.
