This is what showed high in original blood test:

Glucsose Serum 100H 65-99

Creatinine, Serum 10H 0.57-1.00

AST Sgot 68H 0-40

ALT sgpt 135H 0-40

Since then had esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy and colonoscopy.

Results:

1. Duodenal biopsy: Increased intraepithaelial lymphocytes.

2. Gastric biopsy: Diffuse moderately severely acute and chronic gastritis.

3. Eshophageal biopsy: Squamous epithelium and gastric mucosa with mild acute and chronic inflammation. No Barrrett's epithelium identified.

4. Terminal ileum biopsy: Mild focal nonspecific chronic inflammation.

5. Random colon biopsies: Severe microscopic (lymphocytic) colitis.

6. Rectal colon polyp biopsy: Tubular adeonoma with chronic inflammation.

Then the doctor order a blood test last week looking for Celiac Sprue Disease, and today went to the lab for Celiac Panel blood test.

Please help! I really want to know what is going on..having diaherra for 5 weeks. Just want to know what is wrong and move on to feeling better.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jan

I dont know a whole lot about these results in detail, but the ALT and AST are suggestive of some liver damage......probably inflammation. Your numbers arent extremely high, but there is definitely some damage being done. The High creatinine is suggestive of a kidney problem. Not sure what exactly. And the glucose is suggestive of diabetes. Was this a fasting test? I cant tell you what is going on, but that is the basics of what those mean. Being that your liver and kidneys arent functioning perfectly, I assume your body is having a hard time detoxing. What are your symptoms right now? It looks like you have a lot of inflammation in your GI tract. It could be celiac or some major food intolerances. It could calso be a bacterial infection (H.Pylori), and many other bacteria. I would look into getting a stool test to look for infection, malabsorption, and anything else that might be going wrong throughout the GI tract.

This was not a fasting blood test. They did do a stool sample which came back fine...not bacteria or anything. My symptoms are diaherra, tired, bloated stomach, gas, feels like someone is twisting my intestines sometimes, pale and not myself at all.

Do you know what the reports from the colonoscopy and the scope mean?

      Hi all, about a year ago I had some blood tests done through a naturopath because I had constant hives and no idea why. They would go away for a few days with an antihistamine medicine but always come right back. Anyways, she did an igg test (which i now know is terribly unreliable) and it was pointing to gluten sensitivity. there was another test too, that tested for wheat iggs, igas and several other things, among which were Transglutaminases. The only one that came up as high for me was the tTG3 igg result, which shows an autoimmune response in the skin, commonly dermatitis herpetiformis in celiac patients. I was told it was gluten causing it but not celiac. Fast forward to now, I still have hives, I've been gluten free (although I have no reation to gluten when I accidentally have it), and I've been doing research to try and figure out what is wrong. I've heard that those initial igg tests are unreliable, and that maybe gluten isn't the issue, but from what I've read it sounds like the Transglutaminase tests are very reliable? I'm wondering if I somehow got a false positive, because I definitely don't have dermatitis herpetiformis or any typical celiac rashes. Has anyone had a similar experience?

      I know I'm late to the party, but I thought these articles are very interesting.   Doctors don't recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency is linked to Long haulers syndrome, too. I had palpitations that only resolved with thiamine Vitamin B 1 supplementation.   Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in US adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10502219/   Vicious cycle of vitamin B1 insufficiency and heart failure in cardiology outpatients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11579856/   Micronutrient deficiencies and new-onset atrial fibrillation in a community-based cohort: data from PREVEND https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11772465/   Spontaneous Recovery of Isolated Advanced Heart Block in Patient with Celiac Disease by Starting a Strict Gluten Free Diet: A Case Report and Review of the Literature https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10482138/   The Efficacy of Vitamins in the Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11432297/   Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/   Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/#:~:text=Benfotiamine (Fig.,]%2C [62]].   Recovering from Long Covid with Thiamine https://hormonesmatter.com/recovering-from-long-covid-with-thiamine/ https://hormonesmatter.com/covid-19-thiamine-interview-with-dr-derrick-lonsdale/

      @ohmichael, Have you tried contacting your state's Employment Services?   There should be job opportunities and training programs especially for previous service members and veterans.   Look into trade schools.  Some offer training programs which provide scholarships and housing, and possible employment after completion.  Some scholarships are funded by employers looking for specifically trained employees. Choose a career path in something you enjoy doing.   I agree with @Scott Adams.  Play your cards close to your chest.  Get your ducks in a row before discussing leaving the gluten aisle where you work now.  Managers can and will fire you really easily, like Scott said.   Prayers and Best Wishes sent.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      @badastronaut, I'm so glad you got your folate and zinc up! I'm a big fan of Benfotiamine.  It's a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  I take 250 mg Benfotiamine with the first two meals of the day along with a B 50 Complex.  The B vitamins all work together so taking a B Complex with Benfotiamine is great.  I also take a form of thiamine called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with brain function, anxiety and depression.  Start off with small doses (50 mg) and increase doses as long as you see improvement.     https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/#:~:text=Benfotiamine (Fig.,]%2C [62]].

      @nanny marley, I had great improvement by supplementing with a B Complex and extra thiamine in the form Benfotiamine which promotes intestinal healing.  I followed the AutoImmune Protocol Diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  The AIP diet removes everything from the diet that can be irritating or hard to digest.  After a period of time to heal, other foods are slowly added back into the diet if tolerated.   For more stories of my journey, read my blogs by clicking on my name and choosing activities in the dropdown menu.
