I had my endoscopy done this morning. Here are the findings....can someone help me with them? The examined esophagus was normal. A large hiatus hernia was found. the proximal extent of the gastric folds (end of tubular esophagus) was 32 cm from the incisors. the hiatal narrowing was 37 cm from the incisors. the Z-line was 32 cm from the incisors...

I am scheduled for capsule endoscopy next month...I was wondering how easy it is to swallow the capsule...

I have had the Celiac panel done about two months ago and it was negative. Dr thinks I still have a good chance of being diagnosed with Celiac's. I am scheduled for capsule endoscopy and upper endoscopy early in Dec. I have undiagnosed anemia. My RBC was a 6. Now on iron and had transfusion. I have a new symptom I have noticed lately... The joints...

A couple months ago I was hospitalized with severe anemia. I had a RBC count of 6. I was given 4 bags of blood in a transfusion. They have found no cause for the anemia. They first thought it may be celiac's and ran the blood test....came out negative. Sent to a gastrologist....he says all my blood work was very similar to a patient he had that had celiac...

I do know that my 8 yr old grandson was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes this spring and also is suffering from ADD. They will run the Celiac panel on him yearly but was negative this spring.

I was diagnosed with severe anemia a month ago. It was so bad I was immediately sent to the ER and admitted. They had to give me 4 units of blood. I had restless leg before the transfusion but have not had it since. They gave me the Celiac panel and it came out negative...The CT scan shows a very large hiatal hernia...undergoing capsule and upper endoscopy...

The specialist told me when I met him last week that he would do the following in order...CT scan to check for any problems before doing a capsule endoscopy. Followed by upper endoscopy with biopsy. His nurse called me today to set up appointment for endoscopy.....still not sure if it was the capsule or regular endoscopy....She is sending me paperwork...

Thanks for the replies. I just received a call from the Gasterologist' nurse and I am scheduled to undergo endoscopy with biopsy on October 30. Apparently the CT scan was good. Now I have another month before I find out anything. How much gluten should I be eating before this biopsy?

Hi everyone. About three weeks ago I was admitted to the hospital after being diagnosed with severe anemia. They have not found a cause as of today. About 2 weeks ago my doctor did the Celiac panel blood test but came back negative. Referred to Gastrointerologist last week. Thinks Celiac's is still a posibility even with negative blood test. Ordered...
