Going In For Endo On Friday, Questions

Hi everyone,

Going in for endo this Friday after negative bloods (TTg Iga and Immunoglobulin A).

I know the doc should've ordered more tests but I am thinking the endo is a good next step. What do you guys think? Of course I am worried it comes back negative not giving me answers but it also assures me that other issues can be ruled out. Is more blood testing necessary to completely rule out celiac?

Also, I am freaking out about the procedure itself but trying to stay calm. The anesthesia concerns me although the doc said it is jus a deep relaxer.

Any thoughts and words of encouragement are appreciated!!! :D

My blood tests were all negative so I wouldn't automatically worry about the endo results. My biopsy was positive which is how I ended up here. (I'm so glad I did. :) )

I always get paranoid about the anesthesia. I know I shouldn't, but I do. I don't usually worry early, but then during the last 24 hours or so I get super anxious. I've never had a problem though and always wake up feeling... I won't say fine, but as I should. I had killer sore throat for a few days after my endo. I can't speak for other side effects as I had my gallbladder removed the day before so who knows what was what at that point. I would just recommend having some cough drops or sore throat drops around the house. I like Halls.

Remember, no matter the results, nothing is stopping you from being gluten free to see if it helps. A negative biopsy doesn't mean you don't have a gluten intolerance which can cause many of the same problems but there simply isn't a test for. If you got this far and you're prepared to go gluten free and okay with it, I say go for it either way.

Try to relax about the procedure! I know each person's case is different, but I had a very positive experience! I was very nervous but my appointment wasn't until 4pm and at that point I was just ready to get it over with since I hadn't eaten or drank anything since 8pm the night before lol. Anyway, before I went back I wrote down a list of all of the questions I had and made sure to ask them to the nurse. From there, I got into a gown, got hooked to the IV, spoke briefly to the doctor, and then rolled down the hall to the procedure room. Once I got in there the anesthesiologist talked to me and was asking me about school and stuff. They put an oxygen mask over my face and told me that it was going to smell bad and then they gave me the anesthesia and I started getting really hot and then I started to panic because I couldn't ask them if I was supposed to feel hot because of the mask. That's the last thing I remember and honestly the worst part of the experience for me (and it wasn't even that bad.) When I woke up my parents were there and I had some ice cold water. They kept me for a little bit just to make sure I was good and then they let me leave and I got to go eat haha. From the time I woke up to the time I got home I only remember bits and pieces but it wasn't bad at all. I was actually feeling pretty good haha. Apparently I told my mom "these are some goooooooood drugs!" For the rest of that night my mouth was really dry and it was like I couldn't get enough to drink. The next day my throat was scratchy but it didn't really hurt.

It was my first time being drugged up and I was really nervous but it ended up being completely fine haha. If I had to do it again I wouldn't be nervous at all. Like I said, everyone is different but I think most peoples' experience with this have been fine.

Good luck! : )

I am so in the same boat you are. My tests came back negative and well and I am also having an upper endoscopy done this Thursday. I am a little frustrated because I know something is wrong with me but supposedly I am lactose intolerant with no diarrhea! I do not believe that for one second. I know how you feel about going under anesthesia. This will be my 6th time going under and every time I wake up, I get sick to my stomach. If my biopsies come back negative, I am going gluten free to see if my symptoms change after eating. I am tired of feeling bloated, tired, and sick to my stomach after eating... Do you have a rash?

Hey! So nice to find someone going through the same! Hopefully we'll both find answers! The only rash I have is a non-itchy one on my buttocks that I noticed this year when my symptoms got worse. Since it doesn't itch I am sure it is not gluten related. I do have eroding teeth which is usually associated with celiac and my youngest son has similar symptoms to mine (fluffy stools and he sometimes complains of stomach and leg pain). I also don't have diarrhea (my stools are fluffy and dissolve in the toilet water) but was once told I was lactose intolerant and I did have diarrhea back then. I am a vegan now so I don't eat any dairy, meat, or eggs . Do you have a rash? I wish you the best of luck this Thursday! Keep us posted on your results! :D

Endoscopy is not hard or bad at all. Out of all the procedures i've had done, it was probably the easiest. I had an early morning appointment. The nurse went to put the IV in me and couldn't find my vein, so she went off to find an ultrasound machine, where she then told me my veins were deeper than what a "normal" persons is. Easy peasy for a change! She also gave me a warming gell icepack thing to play with (originally was for the IV, but she let me keep it as it was one use only). That helped me keep my mind off of it.

Then it was time for the procedure. I get wheeled into the room and had to wait for about 15 minutes. Then i was given this bit thing to put in my mouth (ugh i hated that thing) as they put the anesthesia into my IV and to lay on my left side. Last thing i remember was trying to swallow with that stupid bit thing in my mouth :lol:

Waking up from such a knockout is difficult for me. For example, with my gallbladder removal surgery it took me about 2-3 hours to come out from under (normally people wake up and are able to leave by about noon or so, i didn't till about 3 or so pm). So there was an additional amount of time and was still sort of out of it for the rest of the day. My throat was kinda sore, but at the time of the procedure, my throat was already raw soooo (due to my GERD and the vomiting i went through before going gluten free).

I had mine in October and it was fine. I was panicking beforehand.

Make sure you have someone to take you home, some people are a bit spacy after, try and have a quiet time after.

Good luck, let us know how it goes

Thank you so much for your kind responses! I think I am psychologically prepared for this. Hopefully I don't freak out tomorrow! :wacko:

Now physically speaking, I am not doing that good since this las week I upped my gluten intake and my knees are killing me. Plus my fluffy stools (sorry, TMI) are way less solid than they used to be!

Like other people on this forum have said, it is not that I want to be celiac - I just want answers and to find out why my son and I have similar symptoms. Next step after my endo is having him tested, for sure!

I had my EGD done this morning and it went good. The procedure took about 15 minutes and I felt fine after waking. My throat is a little scratchy and I'm coughing some. Yes, I do have a rash and it seems to be mainly on my arms, legs, buttocks, and I get some on my breasts. They start out as little red bumps then the bumps get bigger and form a blister like lesion in the middle. Once they pop, it burns and itches like crazy. I have an appointment with my dermatologist in January and I'll have him do a biopsy on them. I also have eroding teeth as well. I noticed my teeth have turned yellow and I brush and floss as recommended. About 6 years ago, I had 9 cavities at one time and just had my top wisdom teeth removed back in September because they were eroded and almost gone.

My GI told me he didn't think I had celiac disease because my blood work was negative and my CT scan didn't show signs, well my EGD showed otherwise. My duodenum (the first smart of the small intestine) is completely flat and has no ridges. My stomach was also inflamed so I have gastritis, and my esophagus shows signs of erosion (possibly from acid refux). He took some biopsies and I will know the results next week sometime. He told me go ahead and start taking lactase pills before I eat and start on the gluten-free diet to see how I feel and I will see him back in 3 weeks. Good luck tomorrow with your procedure. Let us know how it goes hon. :D

Yay for you having your procedure already done and over with!!! I am so happy you are already getting the answers you needed. Thank you so much for posting about it! Hopefully starting your gluten-free diet will make you feel better! :rolleyes: Will post about my procedure when I am able to do so as it might help others just like you helped me!

Well, so I went for the endo very early in the morning and it really was a breeze! Woke up feeling perfectly fine! Not even a sore throat! Only thing doctor found was non-erosive gastritis and now waiting for the biopsy results.

He said if I have had the gastritis for a loooong period of time (years) this would explain the eroding teeth and my symptoms.

Thoughts?! And thanks for everyone who offered their words of encouragement!!!! It meant a lot and it helped tons!

PS--- I asked why he didn't order other Celiac tests before and he said the EMA is not used anymore and the DGP can be positive for other reasons that have nothing to do with Celiac. Hmmm... I have read here this test is very Celiac sensitive so I don't know. Any words of wisdom???

Thank you so much!

Have you received your biopsy results back? I have not heard from my GI yet, and my procedure was over a week ago. He did say it would take 7-10 days, but I think I'm going to call tomorrow anyways. I have been gluten-free for a week and I still do not feel well after I eat and I think it is from the gastritis and I can not wait to start feeling better. I also started taking Acidophilus and I am hoping this helps with my GI tract. Keep me updated on your results. :D

Not yet! He said it was going to be about a week so I am hoping he calls tomorrow. I haven't gone gluten-free just because something tells me to get tested with the whole panel in case results come back negative (I only had the Ttg Iga and total IGA tests done). I am just so worried to be left without answers! He didn't see any abnormalities to the naked eye so we'll see what the results say. I don't even know how many biopsies he took! Ugh. Even though I am not gluten-free yet I haven't been heavily glutening myself. My knees hurt and my stomach bothers me constantly! I don't think this is just a matter of non-erosive gastritis but we'll see. Please keep us posted on your results as well!

I have Panic Disorder. I am on SSDI because of it. So I was terrified of having the endo. My anesthesiologist was a godsend. He knocked me out cold and I felt nothing and woke up right as rain and thirsty. Got dressed, got a nice frozen bottle of water from the nurse and Hubby took me home where I slept all day because the extra Xanax the doctor had me take. My throat didn't really hurt I think because of the nice cold ice water I got as soon as I was conscious enough to swallow. However, I was clean for 9 months. They found GERD damage and stopped looking so it was a waste of time for me. My GI was also very ANTI-Celiac. He believed it to be in vogue. He was fired.

Hi Darkfire Ann! So were you ever diagnosed with Celiac after all? Did you have blood tests done? What did you do after your endo? Are you gluten free? Just curious to see what road you took after the procedure! :D

I had blood tests, all negative, I was 9 months clean. My Endo was a idiot. BUT he did send me to the allergist/immunologist. I was found to be allergic to: Wheat, Corn, Rice, Banana, Cantaloupe, Peaches, Carrots, Crab, Tuna, Fish, Shrimp, Barely, Oats, Hops, and Rye. Patch tested for Nickel, PPD, Black Rubber, Latex, Tylenol and ALL household/environmental allergies. Again, blood tests all negative.(I think need copies was 3 yrs ago) He also DXed me Celiac and warned against Dairy. We kinda fought over that.I was gluten-free at the time over 9 months clean. I wasn't for a while(long story) and now have the worst DH rash I have seen except maybe one or two pictures look worse than mine. Derm also Dxed me with DH rash Celiac Sprue. My Iron is tanked and am on pills but I am on 100MG Dapsone a day so it's a slippery Iron slope. The Derm did the test to make sure I can take Dapsone. He also did IFA,ANA which is positive now with a titer of 1:40 and a speckled pattern.

Hello! Quick update:

After waiting almost 2 weeks for my endo results, I got a call from the nurse yesterday who said the doctor wanted to see me for my results. After a moment of TOTAL PANIC :blink: and after she scheduled me for the appointment I asked what he had said and if it was something bad. She then just said, "Oh no, that's what I was going to say next. It is nothing bad so no worries." SIGH, ummmm, maybe you should start by saying that when you call people?!? SIGH.

Anyway, has anyone else have had to go back to discuss results? I am still a little worried but she did say "nothing bad, no worries".

My appt. is on Monday, will update then! And please let me know your thoughts or if you have gone through the same.

Thanks everybody! :P

      Positive biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are still eating gluten you could get a celiac disease blood panel done, but I agree with @trents and the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease would be your endoscopy results. Is it possible they did do a celiac disease panel before your biopsy? This would be the normal chain of events. 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.

About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually do. But it is also true that the offspring of those who do have active celiac disease are at a considerably higher risk of developing active celiac disease than those of parents who have the genes but don't develop the disease. Some recent, larger studies put the risk at near 50% for the first degree relatives of those who have active celiac disease.

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!
