ARCHIVED With Celiac, Does Mucus In Stool = Intestinal Damage?
Alphy replied to Alphy's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I just wanted to give some more feedback on some info I found. Late last week the doctors office called to tell me my intestinal biopsies showed I have Lymphocytic Colitis, which is intestinal inflammation that is only visible by biopsy. I had never heard of this condition, even after months of searching the internet about clues as to what was causing my... -

At this point, I have not talked to him, so I don't know if he will do an endoscopy. I just thought I would mention it beforehand. Sorry for the dumb questions. This is all new to me:( And maybe I just need... -

Hi All, For the past three months, I have had diarrhea every morning (sometimes overnight, early morning, then stops around 10AM). This got progressively worse with some cramping, and more and more mucus (sorry for TMI ) and tissue in my stool, along with some other symptoms (hip pain, fatigue). I met with a GI in mid April, and was tested for celiac...
