Upper Endoscope Results


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

I got the results back from my upper endoscope today. He said I am doing good (Healing), just have inflammation, and to maintain a gluten-free diet and my nexium. They removed a few polyps from my stomach and intestine and they came back negative for cancer and bacteria.

I was given pictures from the scope but do not know what I am looking for here. Opinions from anyone or a rating at how bad this inflammation is? NOTE I did black out my personal information in the corners of the pictures. Thanks for any input.

Congrats, Ennis!  Looks like you are doing a great job remaining gluten free.  

I can not give you an opinion about the endoscopy.  I have no clue what would look good or not.

I'm not a trained medical professional, so take this with a grain of salt.

It looks like you have some nice normal coloring: the light pink bubblegum color.

Inflammation would be the red color. It looks like you have some radial red streaking and red blotches.

If he will send your your original pictures, then you can see how much pink/red coloring you started out with, and how much improvement you've made.

Improvement is great, congratulations!

      After looking at Google images, the spleen is on the upper left abdomen, too!  An organ, part of the lymphatic system for immune function.  A filter.  Wonder how this relates to gluten sensitivity?

      Hello, everyone, This upper left side pain is interesting to me.  I have this same pain almost all the time.  Started 2009 when I got diverticulitis for the first time.  Then had left ovarian cyst removed and a diagnosis of endometriosis all over inside.  Been attempting gluten-free since 2018.  It's not perfect, but still have that left sided pain.  Like up under the rib cage.  I believe the pancreas head is on that side, so I often wonder if I have a tumor or something there.  But it could also be an endometriosis adhesion in my belly.  I never got scraped.

      One of my biggest issues is when a brand chooses to label one item gluten free, but not another. Why is Hunt's diced tomatoes labeled gluten free, but not the paste or sauce? I would have assumed they were all gluten-free, but why label one and not the others? It makes me suspicious.

      Most of these items would be naturally gluten-free, with very little chance of cross contamination, thus they don't typically label them as gluten-free. If wheat is a potential allergen large companies disclose this in the ingredients as "Allergens: wheat."
