Double Dipped Today

Hello all. I'm a lurker and this is my first post. I had an EGD and colonoscopy bright and early this morning. I'll be going back to sleep, again, shortly, but I wanted to ask a question.

Does anyone here know what Erythematous duodenopathy means, exactly? The internet has actually been less than helpful and I'm kind of wondering what to expect from my biopsy results. My GP suspects Celiacs, but my GI wanted tests before he would venture a guess.

Any help is wonderful. Thanks.

:) - Heather

Thanks. From my lurking, this seems a very friendly and helpful kind of place. I have ended up here several times in my research.

Welcome to the board. If my memory of medical terminology is correct Erythematous duodenopathy means that you duodenum was red and inflamed. And yes this could be from celiac. I hope the biopsies give you a definate answer but even if they are negative you should give the diet a good strict try.

I, apparently, slept right through this response and forgot I had even posted. Yay, Versed. I have a follow-up in the 19th with my GI and I'm hoping for an answer then. Since the colonoscopy prep gave me a nice, good cleaning out, I've been paying much more attention to what I eat and the effect it has on me. I wish I could say that there are foods that don't make me feel sick, but it is really just a matter of degrees of sick feeling right now.

However, food with no gluten makes me feel much less sick, so even if the results are inconclusive, I think that is going to be the way I go. Of course, sadly, I am kind of hoping for a confirmed diagnosis. I am sick of being sick. :(

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.

      @Russ H, I partly agree and partly disagree with you. After looking at it again, I would say that the slick graphic I posted overestimates the risk. Your math is solid, although I find estimates of gluten in white bread at 10-12% rather than the 8% you use. Somewhat contradicting what I wrote before, I agree with you that it would be difficult to ingest 10 mg from flinging bread.  However, I would still suggest that @nancydrewandtheceliacclue take precautions against exposure in this activity. I'm not an expert, I could easily be wrong, but if someone is experiencing symptoms and has a known exposure route, it's possible that they are susceptible to less than 10 mg / day, or it is possible that there is/are other undetected sources of exposure that together with this one are causing problems. At any rate, I would want to eliminate any exposure until symptoms are under control before I started testing the safety of potentially risky activities. Here is another representation of what 10 mg of bread would look like. https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/10mgGlutenCrumbsJules.jpg Full article that image came from: https://www.glutenfreewatchdog.org/news/what-does-10-mg-of-gluten-look-like/

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.
