Pathology Report

Recommended Posts

BellaBella Rookie

A couple of days ago I posted a thread about my biopsy results.

One member suggested getting the pathology report and posting that here so that's what I'm doing now:

Material submitted:

Part A: second part duodenum

Diagnosis:

Normal duodenal mucosa. No abnormalities seen. No evidence of sprue is seen.

Gross description:

A) Received in a 10% neutral buffered formalin filled bottle labeled "second part duodenum" with patient's name and an accession number are multiple irregular fragments of soft tan tissue ranging in size from 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm to 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.1cm. All fragments are totally submitted in one cassette.

A: Sections show duodenal mucosa with intact villous architecture. No evidence of neoplasia and no significant inflammatory infiltrates. No infectious organisms are seen. There is no evidence of sprue.

It means they aren't seeing any damage or inflamation in the biopsies that were taken. They appear normal.

My biopsy came back clear too. I'm not bummed though...I'm still going to live gluten free because I know it makes me feel best. Good luck to you!

      How clean is her gluten free diet?  Is dairy included? Does she eat out?  SIBO?  Thiamine deficiency presenting as Gastrointestinal Beriberi?

      There's more essential vitamins than B12 and Vitamin D!   Thiamine is B1.  Thiamine deficiency causes insomnia. Thiamine deficiency causes changes in brain function resulting in anxiety, insomnia, depression and dementia.  The brain uses more thiamine when stressed emotionally or physically.   Interesting Reading: Subclinical Thiamine deficiency causes anxiety, insomnia and depression... https://www.psychiatryredefined.org/running-on-empty-subclinical-thiamine-deficiency-is-common-and-causes-depression/#:~:text=Early signs of low thiamine,low appetite%2C and sleep disruption.

      But knitty kitty, if OP does have celiac disease, why aren't her symptoms in abatement after practicing the gluten free diet for four years? If the OP was a refractory celiac, you would think the biopsy wouldn't be clean.

      Many people dignosed with Celiac need to have their Gall Bladder removed from years of Celiac symtoms distroying our organs. Also NSAID (Liver disease)  also associated with Celiac as everything you eat and drink is filtered by your Liver.  So this is not uncommon; seeing more and more of Liver disease on the increase.

      The most comprehensive book for Celiac is writtin by Dr Peter Green  "Celiac a hidden Epidemic".  Dr. Green is one of the leading Celiac doctors in the country and research also.  His book is well written and is easy to understand. I refer to it as my Celiac Bible. Your local library may have a copy or It is also sold on Amazon .  He has an updated version also; but I have not had a change to read it yet. There is also one "Celiac for Dummies".  If your have kids with Celiac, it makes it simple to know what they are dealing with.  But it is still an Adult book. And this site is wonderful.  Scott has helped the Celiac community so much and you can rely on his responses. GIG.net will keep you informed about the labeling laws.  Summer camp for Kids with Celiac and so much more.
