Question About Endoscopy

Hello,

So I went for an endoscopy on Thursday. When they did it the dr met with us after and said he didn't see anything abnormal. He took a bunch of sample to have tested. Is it normal to not see anything during the endoscopy when Celiac is suspected? Any info would be great.

If the doctor comes out and tells you that they could visibly see damage I figure it must be bad. However, it's not uncommon for the GI doc to say it looks fine in a lot of instances. Since the damage that celiac does is at the cellular level, the biopsy samples need to be viewed under a microscope. I was told my intestine looked fine with only mild inflammation. My biopsy showed villous atrophy.

It would not be severe damage for sure, but the biopsies (samples) that your doctor took would have to be tested and then you will have more precise information.

Even if the samples come back normal/negative, you may still have a gluten or wheat intolerance.

In my case, everything comes back normal/negative and I'm still feeling horrible pain if I eat certain breads/pastas.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Jay Heying · Posted

      Hello everyone, this my first time to this website and I need some help. I’m 65 years old and have been living with Celiacs for about 15 years. My doctor has suggested I start taking a probiotic named  Integrative Pro-Flora-Concentrae. Has anyone else used this probiotic specifically? If this one isn’t celiac friendly can you recommend another please. Thank you.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      If a Celiac person is successful in following a gluten-free diet, they can go into remission.   They may not have a reaction to gluten without a precipitating event like an injury or infection or even emotional or mental stress.   Following a strict gluten-free diet at home, then indulging in gluten containing products abroad without a reaction can be explained by this remission.
