ARCHIVED Endoscopy Tomorrow!
nekome replied to nekome's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, my GI said based on the blood tests he ran, no Celiac (and this was after a gluten challenge that ran from January to April). I don't know if this helps but.. -
ARCHIVED Endoscopy Tomorrow!

Hi everyone! So I met with my GI yesterday. He said aside from the slight erosion he saw (which now I have to take Prilosec every day for that) and a small nodule (Pancreatic heterotopia which he said is congenital and nothing to worry about) that there is no evidence of Celiac. He said that even with my Celiac gene, that I don't have to follow up on... -

Hi taynichaf, I won't have the full report until next Tuesday, but my GI told me he found erosion and a small nodule. I'm still not sure what any of it means so I'll just have to sit tight until then.. -

My problems with gluten really surfaced late last summer and I saw a gastroenterologist who did an endoscopy on me last December-- he said everything was fine and I wasn't convinced so I decided to go to another doctor this time making absolutely sure they specialized in... -
ARCHIVED Should I Get A Second Opinion?

Thank you mushroom and ciamarie, I really appreciate that you guys took the time to respond to my post. It's comforting to know that there's people I can turn to for help with this. I've been gluten free since the biopsy so no rashes at the moment though I have just recently started a gluten challenge and I'm going to eat at least two slices of wheat bread... -
ARCHIVED Should I Get A Second Opinion?
nekome posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Hi everyone, I've been reading these forums for some time now and after going through a stressful year of trying to determine if I have celiac or not. A little bit about myself-- I've had eczema (in the form of what looks like bubbles under the skin that are extremely itchy on hands and feet typically), randomly swelling joints (hands, feet, knees and lasts...
