- Sking replied to Sking's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms4Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results
So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this... -

Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS.

Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results
Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is. -

Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results
IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point. -

I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me! -

Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.
