Biopsy results - second opinion?
Because of your anemia, you may not be making sufficient antibodies. I hope they did a total IgA as well as the tTg IgA, and DGP IgG. I hope you will share the results with us. If your body isn't making a large amount of antibodies, then the intestinal damage would be less as well. The antibodies attacking our own cells is what causes the damage... -

Biopsy results - second opinion?
Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture. I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of pla... -

This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels, reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal). ... -

Biopsy results - second opinion?
Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom. I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results... -

New Guy Here...
@TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12? B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly. Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing. Are you on any medication for your Gerd? Here...
