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

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
