Biopsies from small intestine.(6pieces)

Section show ileal mucosa without villous arophy. The lamina propria does not how significant number of inflammatory cell, no pathogens are identified. Lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centres are present.

Gastric biopsies (2 pieces)

Multiples pieces of non-specialised gastric mucosa showing mild chronic inflammation in the lamina propria. There is elongation of the superficial glands which show serrations of the luminal surface. No hrlivobactor pyloris is idenified. No intestinal metaplasia or malignancy is seen.

Biopsies from terminal illeum (3 pieces)

Section show ileal mucosa without villous atrophy. The lamina propria does not show significant number of inflammatory cells, no pathogens are identified. Lymphoid follicles with reactive germinal centres are present.

Colonic biopsies (together with terminal illeum)

Section show multiple pieces of colonic mucosa. There is no glandular atrophy, distortion or goblet cell depletion and lamina propria is oedematous without significant chronic inflammation. There is no evidence of malignancy.

Diagnosis:

Small bowel: without significant abnormality

Gastric biopsies: chemical gastritis, suggestive of drug(NSAIDS) effect or bile reflux.

Terminal ileum: without significant abnormality

Colonic biopsy: without significant abnormality

Hi guys, above is the result of my biopsy. I have unexplained weight loss of about 16kg for 1 year and have many symtoms, such as fatigue,stomach issue etc..Could the mild chronic inflammation in the lamina propria for my gastric biopsy cause by gluten? Anyone have similar report as mine? Anyone could help and have advice? thanks

It looks like there is some irritation going on? Do you take aspirin, motrin, those type of things? It's also possible that they caught your gluten intolerance early, before a lot of damage has been done?

Did you get Celiac blood tests? It's possible you have non Celiac gluten intolerance, if the test was negative, or you may be one of 20-30% that tests negative?

Since your tests are done, there's no harm in trying a strict gluten-free diet. Sometimes it's the best way to see if gluten is the problem!

Don't do it halfway..like gluten lite. Remove all gluten from your diet (and milk too) and see how you feel?

Hi bubba mom,

thanks for the reply, yah i have tried gluten free for 2 months, seem to feel abit better slightly but symtoms dont seem to improve much and also still losing weight, no i did not take any medicine, only before hand i am seeing chinese medicine but they seem to cure only help abit on my issue. I took their herbs it does help abit but often after few weeks they will give me alot of gas. i think it is also because i am lacking in vitamins. I seem to have alot of gas daily. i also try fructose free and it seem to help abit, but sometimes i duno what i have eaten and the gas keep coming back, i have no enegry everyday and now i weight only 97 pounds and i am 5feet 8 inch tall. Yes i got the celiac test and it came back negative. im quite worry i will keep wasting away. is gastric inflammation a sign of gluten intolerance? Do you have friends having similar case as me? thanks

Prob gluten intollerant. I had blood work, and EGD done. Blood work neg, EGD showed reflux and gastritis like you. Conclusion I'm gluten intolerant. You need to makes sure your not accidentally getting glutened when on gluten free. Give it another try and pay close attention to everything. Keep a food journal, along with how your feeling. That's what I did and realized what was making me sick. Hang in there.

It could be caused by gluten or by other food intolerances. Common food intolerances other people on the board have are dairy, corn, and soy.

thanks guys for your replys.

hi raea2002,

For your biopsy of your stomach, they also show mild chronic inflammation in the lamina propria? Your gastric biopsy report is chemical gastritis, suggestive of drug(NSAIDS) effect or bile reflux?

Did you lost alot of weight as well?? Yes im have been trying hard to stay gluten free and im just glutened by raw walnut few day ago. It is very hard to stay gluten free. Did you buy any of the gluten free product, whenever i eat them seem to have quite some problem. Do you happen to know if clearspring rice cake is safe?

How do you find out that you are gluten intolerant? did you take the enterolab test? thanks

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      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/
