To all of you that responded to my post "Why are people so mean", I have terrible news. My mom had a heart attack last night and is currently in ICU. Her heart rate has not stabilized as of 2am, when the ICU nurse made me leave.

I know this is not gluten related, but since I had talked to all of you in great depth yesterday about my mom, I thought that you would want to know. I am asking for prayers for my mom, no matter what you believe. She can use all the help she can get.

Thanks to all who have been such a wonderful support.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!
