Maybe I saw the same person as you. I actually thought I was seeing a GI doctor and when I went I saw a CNP. My biopsy(which was ordered by my family doc and performed by a general surgeon in my area) showed blunted villi but my blood work was negative so my family doc said I didn't have celiac because of the blood work. I requested a second opinion with...

Can anyone help with these blood results. I had a positive biopsy which showed blunting of my villi and have been gluten free for week and doing well. At my last visit the GI ordered HLA TYPING for Celiac Disease. See below HLA-DQ2 (DQAQ*05/DQB1*02): Negative HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQ1!*0302): Negative HLA_DQA1*: 01 HLA-DQA1*:05 HLA-DQB1*:0301 HLA-DQB...

I actually experienced something similar. I was at an allergist and he asked me what I thought I was allergic to. I said you are gonna think I'm nuts, but I think I'm allergic to tuna sandwiches on whole wheat bread. I was trying to figure out what was causing my symtoms. I thought I had an ulcer because everytime I would eat pasta I would have terrible...

I finally had my GI consult and I'm more confused now then before I went. First let me say that I had a biopsy and the pathology report showed some bluting of the villi (I had a general surgeon do my endo not a GI doctor. After the biopsy showed the blunting of the villi my family doc ordered labs which came back negative. He then said I did not have Celiac...

Has anyone had difficulty breathing as a symptom for Celiac? My throat gets very tight and I feel like I can't take a deep breath. Almost like my throat muscles won't relax.

First let me say that I have dealing with my smptoms for years, since my gallbladder removal 3 1/2 years ago. My family doctor at times has made me feel stupid and that all my symptoms were in my head. I have gone through a lot of different testing and just when I thought I had found the reason of my symptoms I have been let down with no resolution. I...

I have been reading some posts and a lot of them mention food intolerance blood work. I had a positive biopsy but have not had any food intolerance blood work. I have an appointment with a new GI next week and would like to ask him about it. Can anyone give me any specifics as to what tests they exactly are?

I had a colonscopy and it is showing colitis. Does anyone know if celiac disease can cause colitis of the colon?

Can anyone tell me is they have had hip or low back pain associated with their Celiac? I had and MRI of my back and the only thing it shows is arthritis. The pain is mostly in my hips and there are times when I have difficulty standing up after sitting for extended times. Every morning I have so much pain I need to get out of bed. I didn't know if this...

my biopsy showed bluntening of the villi and inflammation. is that the same as athropy of the villi?

I had a biopsy done and showed Celiac. My doctor then ordered me blood work which, 11 days later, came back negative so he now says I do not have Celiac. During the 11 days that it took for my blood work to come back I cut out all Gluten and was just starting to feel better when he called and said I do not have it. I've read that biopsy trumps blood work...

I had a positive biopsy but blood work came back negative so my PCP states I do not have Celiac. I am looking for a GI who deals with Celiac in Northwestern PA (Pittsburgh or Erie PA) or in Western NY near the Buffalo area to get another opinion. Does anyone know of one?

After a positive biopsy showing Celiac my GP ordered a celiac panel which consisted of the following three tests Tissue Transglutaminase <3 Anti-Gliadin IgA AB 4 Celiac IgA (Nephelom) 210 Because these are negative he is saying I do not have Celiac. Can anyone tell me if I had all the Celiac blood work tests done by looking at this list?

Thank you for your comments. Biopsy report states duodenal mucosa with a heavy inflammatory infiltrate consisting of a mixture of lymphocytes and eosinophils. The inflammation involves the glandular eopithelium, broadening and marked flattening of the villi is seen. Epithelium shows increased mitotic activity. Broadening and flattening of the villi is...

I recently had a stomach biopsy that showed blunted villi. My family doctor called and said that the pathology report indicated Celiac Disease with blunted villi but he wanted to order some blood work (Celiac Panal). Since his inital phone call to me I have been reading anything and everything possible on Celiac disease. I have just about every symptom...
