Hello everyone 

 i have been living with hiatal hernia, GERD , bile reflux and celiac disease .  And since one month i got proctitis. I wanted to check up myself so my doctor  send me  to make endoscopy & colonoscopy and it was the worst in my life waste of time... F5E1360F-8BF4-40BD-8200-8258ADF7F121.webp.0aad6d0311c8842aafbad26bf0905d14.webp

The doctor of endoscopy just took one picture of duodenum and one picture from the colonoscopy 

reporting there is no Hiatal hernia , GERD and bile reflux . Note: i always get heart burn and pain in my upper side of stomach. As I know these conditions never disappear!! 

He only took biopsy from the duodenum.

colonscopy: he said i have Hemorrhoids not proctitis !!! And my doctor says the opposite.

What about the yellow color in the picture i want to know what is that?? 

please take a look at the pictures and tell me what do you think and how is my duodenum:)

I can not give you any advice about the photos because I am not a doctor.  Is this your 4th endoscopy in four years?  (Previously you stated that you were diagnosed as a Marsh Stage III and that you have never been less than a Marsh Stage II due to your not adhering to a gluten free diet.) 

The one biopsy that was taken of the duodenum might reveal more as celiac disease can be microscopic.  Let’s hope it is better than a Stage II, but honestly, it takes more time to heal.  

It has been a month since you last reported in.  Are you adhering to the gluten free diet now?  If yes, expect that it can take many months to a year to heal.  Keep to the gluten free diet.  You can do it!

You are blaming celiac for everything that is wrong with you, and that is simply bad thinking. GERD can be caused by simply overeating late at night, or a bad sphincter at the base of the esophagus, perhaps ruined after too many years of damage from other problems like excess stomach acid and overeating.

 That is not something to argue over. The point is that you appear to have multiple problems are they can all exist with or without celiac. They still must be medically diagnosed and treated as the problems that they are. If you do not agree with your internist or simply do not like their manner, find another one. Yes that can be hard, but using a doctor you think is not treating you properly is foolish, perhaps even dangerous.

In the same way, worrying about your plates and pots and pans is foolish. Yes, it has been proven that good metal pans CAN retain some cross-contamination. That depends largely on how well they are cleaned. Ceramic plates are even less likely to carry cross contamination, but who cares? If you have ANY concern about this, either buy paper plates for six months so you can eliminate the question, or buy a couple of inexpensive pots and a couple of place settings of plates, and keep those as YOUR gluten-free set. They do not have to be expensive. Even if you buy them at a thrift store, and spend an hour thoroughly cleaning them with bleach and scalding water, you will have an inexpensive set that are guaranteed to be gluten-free and you can ELIMINATE any question of whether you are being contaminated by the cookware.

Good medical care requires simple logic. Or, using something more entertaining, like a witch doctor. Sadly there are many medical doctors who are less entertaining and no more effective than the witch doctors.

      Autoimmune Reaction to SO many foods

      Hi Trent! Thanks so much for your warm welcome and questions! They do, but these symptoms have been ongoing for a long time before the pregnancy. However, it's hard for me to know what's a celiac response vs. a Hashimotos one. I haven't, maybe it's worth getting those checked again?

      Welcome to the forum, @Maura Gissen! Don't those same symptoms often come along with the territory when pregnant? And then throw in Hashimoto's. Have you had your celiac antibody levels checked recently?

However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea." CBC = Complete Blood Count. This is the typical bloodwork most people would have done routinely with an annual wellness checkup. I would include things like iron levels, various blood cell counts including reds and whites and other infection fighters. CMP = Complete Metabolic Panel. This would measure things like blood sugar, kidney and liver function, plasma proteins and various enzymes. Non cellular things that the body produces. Also typical of an annual wellness check. Have you tried cutting out dairy and oats? These two are the most common cross reactors in the celiac community. I know it must be tough trying to get adequate calories and nutrition when you are pregnant while at the same time eliminating foods that are good sources of those things.

      They did. I was doing a lot better on the AIP diet. However, I was unable to do the full reintroduction process because I went off the AIP diet when I got pregnant and was experiences chronic nausea. This is what makes me believe it's food related.  I do check all of my food products and supplements and I am very careful about them being gluten free and trying to stay away from corn starch etc. However, I am eating gluten free breads that sometimes have rice flour, yeast, etc. - I seem to do fine with these breads/bread products some days, but then am sick other days.  I have never really had any GI symptoms outside of bloating. My symptoms are dizziness, brain fog, and a general feeling of unwellness or malaise, sort of like when you're going to get the flu.  I have had a lot of bloodwork done over the last three years, but I don't recall doing the CBC, CMP, or a celiac-specific test recently. That's helpful so that could at least provide some insight to see if I'm still being exposed.  Do you see most individual with celiacs having to take a period of time away from even gluten free breads and other cross-reactive foods to let their guts heal? I'm not sure how restrictive to get with my diet again since it's so challenging.

      Did the symptoms commence after you discontinued the AIP diet? Have you checked all nutritional supplements and oral hygiene products for possible gluten content? Have you recently checked all the labels of purchased processed foods in your pantry to check for formulation changes that might have introduced gluten? Historically, when "glutened" did you have GI symptoms or were you a "silent" celiac whose symptoms were non GI. Is what you are experiencing now like what you were experiencing at the time of diagnosis? Have you had recent blood work done (CBC and CMP) and if so, were there any parameters out of norm? I know you have Hashimoto's but you say that is well controlled now? It certainly wouldn't hurt to get celiac antibodies rechecked. Because you are essentially gluten free I would not expect to see any big departures from normal levels but if there are even weak positives it could indicate you are getting glutened from some unexpected source.
