Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs. I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned. Like where the...

This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis
Raquel2021 replied to Raquel2021's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks so much. I am getting a second opinion. -
Let us know how it goes. I am almost on thr same boat. The only difference is my celiac antibodies are normal now but recent biopcies showed blunted villi. I am still having a lot of symptoms and cannot put weight on. Have lost a total of 18 pounds after diagnosis.

Thank you. I still have issues with this brand as well. This makes me think I am super sensitive.

Raquel2021 replied to Raquel2021's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My GI told me the same thing I have blunted villi but because my antibodies are now normal I am in remission of the celiac disease. This is why I am so confused. This is seem to be contradicting. This was the reason for my post. He did not seem to be worried about th3 damage of the villi. He said that because my antibodies are good I am good now. Meanwhile... -

Exactly my thoughts. Having blunting of the villi means you have not completely healed the small intestine. It means you still have some damage. We need normal villi to absorb nutrients properly. From what I have heard your bot supposed to take Omeprazole indefinitely as this can also cause the body not to absorb nutrients. It is interesting you had normal... -
Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis
Raquel2021 replied to Raquel2021's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Thanks again. My first endoscopy said mild blunting of the villi. The recent one said the same thing mild blunting of the villi. I went back to the GI because eventhough my symptoms had improved I am still suffering from a lot of them. I had read on this forum about people feeling great again and that never happened to me in the 4 years of gluten-free diet... -

Thanks again for the reply. So I guess doctors are not worried about the blunted villi? Is it not the point of the gluten-free diet to promote the healing of the villi so that we can absorb nutrients? Thanks. Extreme fatigue is one of my symptoms. I have exercise intolerance. -

Thanks so much for replying. I truly appreciate it. I was diagnosed in December of 2020 after having an endoscopy with biopcies. The biopcies showed the same thing. Mild blunting of the villi and it was also showing lymphocytes. This time is still showing mild blunting and no lymphocytes. No sure If that would be an improvement. The thing I improved on... -
Mine were 215 . The lab I visited said anything above 12 was a positive for celiac.

Hello everyone , Hoping someone will have an answer for me. I have had my celiac symptoms continue after being on a gluten-free diet. Was diagnosed in December of 2020 and followed a strict gluten free diet. I barely eat out and I am very strict. I even went dairy free for almost 2 years. I recently had and endoscopy with biopcies taken that revealed...

I went back to see a gastroenterologist today because I continue to have some symptoms even though I follow a gluten-free and my celiac antibodies are now in normal levels. The gastroenterologist says that having upper abdominal pain is no a symptom of celiac disease. I was like, what? I told him I visit celiac forums to learn about the management of this...
