Ok so I know you guys probably can't tell by the endoscopy pics alone, but the doctor said there was some unusual irritation and there were these little bumps that he was suspicious of. We should have the official results of the microscope analysis within 3-4 days!! Any opinions?

I perform basic cytology in clinic on pets - impression smears and needle aspirates...you can never tell visually by endoscopy what is going on at a cellular level. You need a microscope and special stains. Its hard but you wont know until histopathology reports come back.

What is evident visually is inflammation and damage to the intestinal wall. I can't tell if the images are from the antrum , the duodenum or how far down the small intestine. If it is just past the outlet for the stomach then it could be acid damage from stomach acid (duodentitis)...or celiac (denuded intestinal wall is often inflammed). There are other conditions that cause malabsorbtion - only way is to examine biopsies. (Lymphocytic/eosinophilic enteritis is one condition we see).

I know you're anxious...we are waiting on blood test results for Lupus and I want to hang around the fax machine at the doctors office til they come in but apparently that would be considered a little whacko... :huh:;):D

Let us know what they say.

I just have to giggle here.... this post, oddly enough, reminded me of the first time I met my husband's parents.

His mother was very excited to meet me... and she wanted to share all sorts of things from Dh's life with me. One of the first things she showed me was photos from an endoscopy that he'd had as a teenager. I had trouble sleeping that night, LOL!!!

The pics from the endoscopy, alone, won't really tell you much at all with regards to Celiac. The information is going to be found in the actual biopsies. I know it's hard to wait for an answer... and I hope you have yours soon!

one of my daughters had white bumps similar to those. the doc told us it was either food allergies or a fungal infection. it turned out to be a fungal infection.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
