Some Endo Results

Well, I had my test done yesterday. He took several biopsies of my stomach and intestine for celiac disease and H.Pylori.

What he noticed with the naked eye was:

Antral Gastritis-mild AND

Schatzki's Ring, so he dialated my esophagus.

He also said I had mild patch erethyma in the antrum.

I was too out of it to ask questions and he told my hubby all was fine?

How could all be fine? What is gastritis? What is erethmya?

I just woke up but I'm going to see if my dr or his nurse will call me back.

I have to call for biopsy results in one week, meanwhile I won't see him again until June 29.

Any thoughts on what these are?

I'm still weak today..they had to give me double the demerol, I don't know why.

I get weak and sick when I exert myself.

Have a bit of a sore throat...

I got cool pictures of everything to keep...now I can take the pictures of my vocal cords to my ENT to see why I can't sing.

I'm going to the regular dr. today to find out why I get so shaky and I can always hear my own heartbeat-it's weird. Also feels like I can't breathe....

I'm not sure what all that means, but are you sure they said erethyma or arhythmia, because arhythmia (dont know how to spell it) is an abnormality with then rhythm of the heart. If he siad all was fine then I doubt there was anything serious, unless they just ment that the prosedure went well?

good luck with the results!

I just had a biopsy done last week and the Dr. told me I had gastritis as well. I now take a Prevacid OTC each day. I have never had acid reflux or heartburn problems, so it was news to me.

I asked my dr. today; not the GI doc, but my regular dr. He said erethyma is simply redness, like maybe because of all of the acid my stomach was irritated.

He took blood to test my thyroid, so we'll see what happens. I'm feeling a bit better now.

Gastritis- inflammation of the stomach

Antral gastritis- gastritis affecting the lower part of the stomach (the antrum)

Often caused by the bacterium- H pylori.

Erythema is a red appearance of the stomach lining, usually indicating gastritis.

Schatzki ring is a narrowing of the lower gullet just above a hiatus hernia which can cause a sensation of food sticking on the way down.

Hope this clarifies.

I work for a GI group (not a nurse or a doctor so this is not medical advice) and all those things are very common and not any cause for you to worry. They may give you an acid blocker or suppressor if they think the gastritis is causing you pain. You also might have to have the Schatzki's ring dilated from time to time if you notice that you have any difficulty swallowing or food getting stuck.

Some thoughts on the shakiness is low blood sugar. You also might want to see if your magnesium is low. Low magnesium can cause your heart to beat irregularly or pound (which can also make you feel short of breath).

Hang in there! I hope you feel better soon!

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
