Questions About My Endoscopy

I am having an EDG done in nine days, is this the same as an endoscopy? I am trying to get a hold of my doctor to see how long it will take to get my results back and if they should take more than one biopsy?! I've been sort of gluten free and so I don't know how much damage I have but I want to make sure they find damage if there is any. Any ideas?

An EDG is the same thig as an endoscopy with biopsy. The Dr. should take several samples from different areas. My results came back in about a week and a half.

A leading Celiac Expert that spoke at our support group meeting this weekend said "A minimum of 6-8 samples for biopsy"

My GI doc said that the intestinal villi looked "beautiful -- healthy, pink and plump", so he only took four biopsy sites. I found out in 7 days the results of the biopsy. . . Lynne

Lynne- Glad to hear about your beautiful villi!! Congrats :)

Yeah, if my cerebellum only looked so beautiful! It has continued to degrade . . . you can see where it looks like it's "fanning out" due to the parts that have died off. Just hoping my brain can re-route some of those signals so I can get out of this #$%@'ed chair!

      Thanks, @trents. That was what I was thinking of as well, but I'm a huge worrier and keep doubting if it was right thing to do so it seemed better to ask more experienced people. My diet won't be 100% gluten free unfortunately, but I'm thinking of using it as an opportunity to keep a food log and try to see what makes things worse.

      Her Dr gave her meds for the ulcers and recommend the genetic blood test to rule out celiac. Got those results and the hla-dq2 is positive the hla-dq8 is negative. So I’m not sure what this all means. Waiting to hear from the Dr again. She has been eating gluten and did say she got bad stomach pain again the other day but it hasn’t happened in a few weeks so I’m not sure if it’s from gluten or the ulcers.

      I have been on supplementation for almost 11 months with no deficiencies showing up on blood work. So was just hoping to hear someone else’s story where it took longer to heal.

      Here’s the answer from the company 😊   Hi Emily,    Thank you for reaching out to us! We can confirm the Organic Protein + 50 Superfoods Powder is gluten free. The organic barley and wheatgrasses we use are harvested prior to jointing, before the grain forms and any gluten protein is present. Rest assured appropriate measures are taken to ensure our gluten free products comply with the FDA final rule to be labeled as gluten free, as claimed on the side-panel label. Our suppliers are required to verify each ingredient and in order to ensure that our gluten free products comply with the FDA requirements, our manufacturing facilities use the ELISA test method to confirm gluten levels are less than the standard limit of <20 ppm.    If you have allergy concerns about consuming the grasses, we recommend consulting further with your healthcare provider. I hope this information helps! Please let us know if you have other questions.
