For those of you who've had an endoscopy/biopsies done, can yout tell me how long it took to get the results back?

I not to sure if diffrent places take a longer or shorter amount of times. I had my endoscopy done almost 2 weeks ago and my surgeon said it should take about two weeks to get the results back. So i'm guessing probably any were from 2-3 weeks, depending on how busy the lab is.

I had my biopsy done on a Wednesday afternoon and I had the results by that Friday. So about 2 days for me. However, every lab is different, I called my doctors office and got my results. I probably would have had to wait longer to find out if I hadn't called.

Did they suggest that you start a gluten free diet? I know I can't cut out gluten until after the test, but if there is any way cutting out gluten would make me feel better, I'm very eager to start.

I started the gluten-free diet the day of my endoscopy. I asked my doctor after the endoscopy if I could and he ok-ed it.

that sounds like a good plan. Even if the tests came back neg, If excluding gluten from my diet makes me feel better I'll stick with it. I'm tired of being sick and feeling yucky all the time.

Yes, the diet is worth a try either way, you may have a gluten or wheat intolerance if the celiac results are negative. I hope you find an answer and feel better soon. Keep us posted B)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
