Hello everyone

My new doctor said I must have a biopsy to exclude lemphoma....He did not want to say anything more untill we have the results of the biopsy. I can't understand...is it cancer? I am googling it but there is so much information I do not know which one is the right one..anyone with that problem?

Did the doctor mean Lymphoma? Don't alarm yourself quite yet ... some doctors like to rule out some diseases first before doing other tests. Were there specific symptoms that made him want to check for that?

Doctors scared my brother doing just the same thing! (and it was NOT cancer)

Is it lymphoma?? sorry my english is not very good. In greek it is called lemphoma and I thought that was the word....Anyway.....Glad your brother is ok. Doctor said we should check it because I was missdiagnosed for 12 years, I kept getting gluten and now that I've been gluten free for 4 months I still have severe intestine pain and nausea (about 5 times / month)..He said that there is a chance and that we should check it......I still do not know what lymphoma is....He said it is not something fatal and that's all....

My GI also said that it's important for us to be screened for lymphoma. It's something that Celiacs need to be aware of.

Mine uses an upper GI to check, though, not an endoscopy.

He said gastroscopy and colonoscopy....I am a little bit confused I do not know the difference with endoscopy....anyway....ok of course I'll check it since he said so...but I am a little bit terrified...

gastroscopy = they look at the stomach

endocscopy = looking at the stoamch and then small intestine (the part of the gut that is right after the stomach)

colonoscopy = looking at the large intestine.

In each type of examination they use a thin flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, they can also take small tissue samples with this "tube". The name of the tube is an "endoscope"

Many endoscopic procedures are considered to be relatively painless and, at worst, associated with mild discomfort.

Endoscopy means looking inside and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an instrument called an endoscope.

Please talk to the nurse or the doctor about your fears and have them explain it to you. It is scary when doctors wnat to do tests, and normal to be fearful. Post here as often as you need to!

It sounds like your doctor is very good - he is wanting to be thorough and that is a good thing. :)

Take care and let us know how things turn out...and how you are doing :)

sandy thank you so much for the support....I hope too my doctor is worth trusting him. He swears I am not going to feel pain at all, and I just called him about lymphoma and he said that ok there is a possibility but it is something we can deal with. I will let you know about the results...

And guess what.....

Yoy actually speak greek....endoscopy, colonoscopy, gastroscopy are Greek words...It is so cute you trying to explain endoscopy....endo = in, scopy= see, colon=ass...(sorry for the bad word....), gastro=stomach (it is actually ancient greek not modern greek...so you can say you speak like sokrates....much cooler he he ).....I just did not know their medical meaning....I mean ok endoscopy means looking inside, but inside WHAT thing?? Thank you for the explanations..

You are really being helpful here you know. You (may) not understand it but it is really good for me just to know that I can speak to someone about it. I haven't said anything to my boyfiend or my friends cause I don't want to upset them. Of course they will support me no matter what but I just want to protect them in case the whole thing turns out to be nothing bad (I hope that this will be the case).

Thanks again sandy

I'm really glad your doctor is being careful! :)

I wish everybody's doc was as good....

Open Original Shared Link

There is a strong association between celiac disease and gastrointestinal lymphoma. Lymphoma is four to 40 times more common, and death from lymphoma is 11 to 70 times more common, in patients with celiac disease. Delay in diagnosis-and possibly a diagnosis of celiac disease in adulthood as opposed to in childhood-may be associated with poorer outcomes. Several studies suggest that adherence to a GFD reduces the risk of lymphoma in patients with celiac disease.

Your doctor sounds like a good one. You have gotten some good feedback on that.

I just want to thank you for bringing back lots of memories with this post. We had lots of fun in terminology class making new words out of the greek roots. Not wanting to be a rectodynia here, although many here have considered me one :D , and send things off topic. Just wanted to thank you for the memory jog.

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
