Endoscopy Results

I have been diagnosed for with celiac for a few months now but just got my biopsy results in. When I saw the gi for the first time since diagnosis he didn't say much and I didn't see the results until I left the office so I didn't get a chance to ask questions. He seemed like it was an open shut case of celiac and thought the reason I wasn't getting much better was from ibs.

I have tried researching my endo results but can't find much on some of the findings. Are they all related to celiac? The results are as follows

1- duodenum shows flattening villi, increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, increased inflammation of lamina propria. What marsh score would this be??

2-gastric Antrum shows reactive gastropathy and mild lympocytic gastrits. Negative for h pylori

3- gastric body shows oxyntic mucosa with ppi effect and mild lymphocytic gastritis.

Any input would be appreciated

I have been gluten free for 2 months. The first month I was sicker than I ever had been which I think was for the endoscopy irritating my inside. Then for 1 week I felt better than ever. Following that I have been as I was before going gluten free but with more problems. Huge weight gain, low blood sugar,( I'm not diabetic), short term memory loss, dizzy, brain f

Sorry, I've been out of action for a couple of days. I am sorry you are feeling worse. Have you eliminated dairy from your diet because until your villi heal you will be unlikely to be able to digest lactose. Try cutting out milk, cream, ice cream, and if that doesn't help do it all - cheese, yogurt, sour cream etc. For many of us dairy causes bloating and diarrhea. I'm not sure if you have digestive problems because you didn't finish off your post. Are the symptoms you mention those that you had before which led to diagnosis? or the new ones? Brain fog and other neurological problems are one class of celiac symptoms. Then there are the GI ones. And the skin ones.

The first month feeling worse can be attributed to gluten withdrawal most likely and you should be over those. Are you sure you have got rid of all the gluten in all it's hiding places and that you are not being cross-contaminated as by children, eating out, unthinking spouse, unreplaced gluten contaminated utensils like toaster and colander?

I will try cutting out some dairy. I have been eating ice-cream and milk. For some reason I have become addicted to sour cream an meat( never ate much of it before going gluten free)

I think I might be getting contaminated from my 2 year old and my husband but can't seem to figure a way to not be. Both are careless with their gluten foods and there are crumbs everywhere. I try to clean up after them as best I can but seem to loss the battle.

The gi says I'm not better because of ibs and to just eat fiber but I really don't think that the whole problem.

Please do cut out the dairy for a bit. The part I bolded is significant in that we can often become addicted to items we are intolerant to. Also the dairy you are getting is really high lactose and until your villi heal you are not able to produce the enzyme you need to digest dairy. It is possible you may be able to add dairy back in after you have healed a bit more.

You may also be getting CC'd but I think dropping the dairy for now may help a lot.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
