My Endoscopy Today....

I just got home, I'm resting - my head feels like it's about 10 feet above my shoulders - but I feel alright. And, my throat hurts a bit...but not too bad. It really was no big deal. Like Penguins experience... the IV was the worst part, and even that wasn't too bad.

I'm pretty frustrated by my results......

1. Esophageal Stricture (narrowed widening due to scaring of the esophagus

2. Hiatus Hernia (OMG)

3. Reflux Esophagitis

4. Duodenitis - patchy inflamation, erythema, & edema

Biopsies taken - results available in 1-2 weeks.

So, what do you guys think.... celiac or not? Based on the above information....

Needless to say... I've been placed on a very strict diet - eliminating all my favorite foods. Tomatoes (can I cry, seriously!), chocolate, peppermint, ANY fried foods, coffee (UGH), alcohol...etc. I have a whole lovely list of NoNO's along with the gluten-free diet recommendation.

Goodness gracious, I'm a MESS!!!

I'm so glad things went okay for you, no biggie huh? I had mine on the 15th and the iv was the worst part. lol. :rolleyes: They found hiatul hernia during mine also, food was still in my stomach, and he said just by looking celiac, but we'd have to wait for results. 3 or 4 days later I knew for sure it was celiac. Hopefully you wont have to wait the whole 2 weeks, ugh! Glad all went okay for you...Julie

Happy to hear you're back home and did ok! :)

Aren't you glad that you had it done? These are things that you wouldn't have known otherwise.

If they don't call you by the day that they told you the biopsy results will be in, make sure to call them--my experience is that they're not so good about getting back to us!

Get some rest ;)

Yep, glad I had it done otherwise I would never have known how BAD my reflux was. I assumed that I just had normal everyday reflux. But, I have scarring! That's not good. =(

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
