Ksee--

 

Stick around.  I always try to remember that we all have opinions and very different bodies.  What works for some doesn't for others.  One person will have the best Endo in the world and swear by them while another has gotten the run around by 2 or 3.  I eat dairy products, some would tell me I'm absolutely crazy for consuming it early in my "healing" but I needed the weight desperately and could pound serious calories that way, additionally, I wasn't having symptoms from it--but some do...  It's a difference of opinions clearly, but both opinions are correct in the right given individual.

 

If one keeps that in mind as they read these threads it makes it easier to sort through what applies to you and what doesn't.  One of the many things I LOVE about this board is the honesty.  People say what they think and its not real sugarcoated.  This place is a great go-to for me because it allows me to talk disease state with others who "get it" thereby allowing me to enjoy the relationships in my daily life without having to constantly burden my friends and family with conversations that begin with "Do you think..."

 

Anyhow, stay tuned.  You'll find good info here.  Its true, there are some sharp people here.  Happy Saturday!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
