Help With Biopies Results

My daughter had an endoscopy on 1/12 and I recieved her results today. I spoke to the doctor which he said everthing looked fine and I should stop her prevacid becuase he didnt see any signs of acid reflux or any problems for that matter. The only results on the final report I dont understand is this one:

Esophagus at 15cm:

Spuamous epithelium with dilated congested lymphatic channel.

Operative Findings

LES at 23 cm. EGD Grossly nl.

I dont know what that means now it could be completely normal but I would jsut like some other input. I really thought daughter had celiac but her blood and biopies say otherwise. I am debating on wheter or not tojust try to GFD like I orignally was untill I got these results. Also on the 4 biopies they took all it says is withinin normal limits nothing else. Could there be more to it and the pathioglist just didnt write it down?

Thanks

Janelle

How old is your daughter? I think I would try the gluten-free diet. What have you got to lose? Even is she is gluten intolerant and not full blown celiac you may still really notice a difference.

She is 21 months.

Thanks, I want to try but everyone thinks I am crazy since everything points to her not having it.

My understanding is that the blood work is grossly inaccurate in small children. At 21 months I'd certainly give it a go while she is still small and its easier. Have you thought about enterolab?

If it makes her feel better, then what else do you need?

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein...
