Endoscopy & Colonoscopy Results

First, if this posts twice I apologize, I tried to post this a few days ago but it's not showing up. :( So, here's my questions:

Hi, some of you may remember me, I posted a few weeks ago about all of my symptoms, and my negative blood tests. I have recently realized that the blood work for celiac was done at some little random run-of-the-mill lab that my dr does all bloodwork at, and I think I've read somewhere that only a handful of labs in the country (US) can properly test for celiac.

Anywho, I had my endoscopy and a colonoscopy done this morning (lucky me), and while I have to wait about a week for the biopsy results to come back, my Gastro did give me a few different diagnosis. I have mild gastritis, as well as mild colitis. He also had results from some blood work he sent me for about a week ago and I have high thyroid levels? (By the way, this isn't the doc who tested me for celiac, that was my primary care physician.) And I thought high thyroid levels meant HYPOthyroid, and I thought that was synonymous with weight gain. I am very underweight (5'7" and 110lbs).

Well, my question is, are these 3 things typically associated with celiac disease? I am asking because since my bloodwork by my other doc came back normal for celiac, this doc is pretty much dead set against me having celiac, and I'm not even sure if he did a biopsy for it or not. And I'll be understandably angry if he didn't... But what do you gastro-experienced posters think? If he didn't do the small intestine biopsy, and only did other areas or my stomach, I will be changing doctors and redoing this whole mess.

Just realized I'd better throw in a link to my old thread, in case I'm just not that memorable...

Hi, a lot of us here have some thyroid issues. Gluten is known to trigger thyroid antibodies. Mary shomon has some articles about that at tyroid.about.com.

High TSH would be hypo.

Some hypos are under-weight.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Ceekay · Posted

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
