Endoscopy results Normal. Does it mean I'm not Coeliac?

I had an endoscopy a few days ago and the consultants report has shown that my Oesophagus, Stomach and Duodenum are all normal. 3 Biopsies have been taken from my Duodenum and I'm now awaiting results. But if everything appears normal via endoscopy, surely this would mean there is no damage and the likelihood of coeliac is very low? 

 

Just to add my Bloods were extremely high and I've eaten gluten up to the endoscopy.

 

Has anyone else experienced similar results? I was looking forward to finally having answers, but now I'm more confused then ever 🤦‍♂️.

Damage cannot always be seen visually. It depends on the magnification of the endoscope.  That is why biopsies are taken.

Oh right. I was under the impression it would be noticeable from the off with smooth appearance due to the lack of Villi. I have a follow up appointment on the 2nd of Feb where I'll hopefully have a final diagnosis. Thank you for updating me.

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
