So Angry With This Biopsy Report

So, I got the call this afternoon that my son's biopsy results are back. I was given a copy of the procedure report this afternoon and I pick up the actual biopsy results tomorrow. All I was told today was biopsy showed GERD but not Celiac.

 

So, going through the procedure report I am actually very angry. I specifically asked how many biopsies would be taken from the duodenum and verified with the doc that biopsies would be done of the duodenal bulb. Well, only 4 biopsies were done in the second part of the duodenum and zero were taken from the duodenal bulb. Zero. More biopsies were taken from the esophagus and the gastric antrum portion of the pyloris than the freaking duodenum.

 

I will post the biopsy report tomorrow morning after I pick it up but I am going to really need the assistance of the smart members of this forum so I can get my set of questions together before our follow up.

This report discusses some of the biopsy descriptions on pages 7-10:  Open Original Shared Link

Stage 3 is usually needed for a celiac disease confirmation, but many doctors seem to accept stage 2.  Stage 1 is often early celiac disease but doctors won't sign off on a diagnosis with that.

 

I'm sure you'll find many offers of help.  Some of our members really know their stuff.

I wish I had some good advice for you, but I'm very new to all of this too.  All I can say is I'm sorry you are having to deal with this frustration and hope that others here have some good pointers for you on moving forward.

      Thank you both. I haven't had access to the test results but will get them and post here.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
