Intial results are, her villi were shortened and dr said that he'd bet money on my daughter having celiac disease. Results on Thurs afternoon. In a letter he gave me it shows mild scalloping of duodenal mucosa folds, normal apprearance of stomach and duodenam.

Anyone else have these sorts of results? I'm trying to find out more on the more medical terms thats in the letter.

The duodenum is the top of the small intestine (where they take the biopsies from).

I believe that scalloping of the mucosal folds is an indication of damage caused by celiac disease.

Hopefully your daughter will get some relief soon on the gluten-free diet.

Me too, she's always ill on an evening and now its even worse because her throat is sore and swollen. She can't eat and won't drink much at all. Will be keeping a close eye on her. Looks like they managed to cut her uvula as there's a red line on it which is new. They didn't mention it so I assume it's ok and was done either during biopsy or just after.

Yep I had scalloping visually and on biopsy I had villi blunting and crypt hyperplasia. Weird thing was is that I did have intraepithelial lymphocytes, but not in the great number usually seen. But I'm celiac none the less.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
