Well hi all....

I went to take hubby to the doc for him to get more testing done to see if he has celiac disease and showed the doc my feet and he says yeppers it is DH :(

I told him that was all I needed to hear, so no more testing for me, I have my answer, but hubby has to continue for his job wants it in writing, so onward with the Gluten challenge now ..... :angry:

Wish us luck !

One question tho: what r the chances of both parents having the gene?

I am so glad I found all of u nice and well knowleged ppl :)

Thank you for all ur support :)

Belinda,

I think that must be rare for both parents to have it. And, to all get diagnosed at the same time. At least you wont have to worry about in-house gluten contamination!

Hi Belinda, I am glad you have a definate answer on the DH.

On the query about how rare it would be for both parents to be celiac, in my families experience it is not rare at all.

I have 2 children, the children have natural fathers as different as you can get. My oldest child's natural father is Castillo Spanish, grandparents straight from Spain, my youngest's father is Scottish and a Northern European mix, Swedish or Norweigen (sp). I do not show up on blood tests, both of my children did. Both of my children inherited the gene not just from me but also from their Dads. The youngest's Dad was finally tested and did come back positive. With our country being such a melting pot and celiac being so unrecognized here I think it is much more prevelant than many are lead to believe.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By Sking · Posted

      I just received my lab results from the endoscopy/biopsies to see if I have Celiac. My doctor's office said it could take up to two weeks for the doctor to read the results and contact me to interpret them. I am wondering if anyone can help me to understand my results? On one hand, it seems like maybe I don't have it, but have something called Brunner Glands Hyperplasia, on the other hand it says I have increased lymphocytes and villous distortion. I am very confused. How will the doctor decide if I do or don't have it? I am so confused about all of this from the start of the journey a year ago, I really appreciate people's time on here reading this and helping me understand. Thank you.   Anatomic Pathology Report Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval Diagnosis synopsis: 01 Part 1-Gastric ,Upper GI Polyp(s), Excision, Stomach: PARIETAL CELL HYPERPLASIA IDENTIFIED.

Comment: 01 Part 1- Part 2- Part 3- Villous distortion could be due to Brunner glands hyperplasia and not truly associated with celiac disease. Please see the diagnosis of Jar 2. Recommend clinical correlation. Anatomic Pathology Report (Cont.) Part 1-There is parietal cell hyperplasia with enlargement and dilatation of the lumens of some oxyntic glands. No dysplasia is seen. Part 2-Duodenal mucosa shows preserved villous architecture and normal cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are identified. No gastric metaplasia is seen. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. There are no viral inclusions. No Giardia, other parasites or other pathogenic organisms are seen. No Helicobacter pylori organisms are identified. Part 3-Increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes are noted (>6 lymphocytes/20 enterocytes at villous tips). Duodenal mucosa also shows villous distortion and slightly increased cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are hyperplastic. Gross description: 01 Part 1-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Gastric Polyp ". Received are 2 fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.4 x 0.3 x 0.1 cm to 0.3 x 0.2 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassette 1. Part 2-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Duodenum Bx ". Received are multiple fragments of tan, soft, tissue measuring 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.2 cm to 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 cm. The specimen is submitted entirely in cassettes 1-2. Minute fragment(s) may not survive processing.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit! Were you on a reduced gluten diet when those blood tests or the biopsies were done?

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi everyone. I have a history of GI issues (gas, diarrhoea, pain, fatigue). In 2018 I had a a blood test that returned “weak positive” for Celiac (I don’t have access to this result) and in early 2018 I had an endoscopy. The dr said by appearance he believed it would be Celiac but biopsy said no. 2022 I had another blood test with results: Anti TTG IgA: 27 units (norm 0-20) high IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0) Endomysial antibodies: neg I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and had the same abnormal appearance but negative biopsies. All my dissachrides were low so I was referred on to a dietitian. I am still struggling with all my GI issues but now with nausea, brain fog and weakness/joint pain even following the low disaccharide diet with enzymes. I’m now pondering my previous results and see that all 3 low disaccharides can also be an indicator of Celiac. I’m struggling and so confused and wondering if anyone has any guidance or advice for me? Thank you
