Endo Results

Phyllis28 Apprentice

My endo results are:

"Negative for active celiac" - These are the expected results since I have been gluten free for many years

"Some chronic inflammation noted though".

My appointment with the GI is not until the beginning of October to further explain this.

Any one else had this result? Any information would be helpful.

Please note I am currently gluten free, soy free and lowfat

Where was the inflamation? Esophagus, stomach or small intestine? If it is up high you may have GERD. If lower you have gastritis from something, perhaps meds or an infection.

I was surprised about a year ago when I had Xrays and an MRI for suspected pneumonia that the radiologist noted I had gastritis. I had been gluten free for almost three years at the time. And, I really hadn't been experiencing any GI discomfort.

The report said small bowel. The section for stomach and esophagus were empty. So I deduce small bowel means small intestine. So far searching the internet I have come up with possibilities baterical overgrowth and Chron's. I am going to keep looking.

Same outcome I had - minor inflamation at bottom of esphagus, call me in two weeks, thats' it. And yes I take prescript. drugs, and no I don't have any symptoms of reflux or Gerd. Bob

Phyllis, I would give up dairy, don't quote me on this but I think I read somewhere that dairy can also cause intestinal damage.

I hate dairy anyway, I think we have no business eating it. but darn it s so hard to give up...

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!
