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!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
