      In 2023 I had a colonoscopy for blood in stool. Turns out that it was internal hemorrhoids but at the same time they found something near the terminal Ileum and took a biopsy of it. Pathology report came back as lymphocytic colitis. I was not having chronic diarrhea or other types of common symptoms so no treatment was necessary. Shortly after I started having excessive gas all the time, and diet didn't change anything, I've had floating stools forever and rarely does a stool sink. My stools alternate from cow patty like to constipation but have been more on the constipation side even though I go every day or 2.

My new gastroenterologist put me in touch with a nutritionist but I’ll have to inquire if they specialize in Celiac. Appreciate the advice 🙏🏼

      Okay, then. It definitely looks like TTG-IGA to me and your score far exceeds the 10x or greater that is becoming the new standard for official celiac disease diagnosis criteria without biopsy.  Talk to your physician about this.
