Hello everyone

My new doctor said I must have a biopsy to exclude lemphoma....He did not want to say anything more untill we have the results of the biopsy. I can't understand...is it cancer? I am googling it but there is so much information I do not know which one is the right one..anyone with that problem?

Did the doctor mean Lymphoma? Don't alarm yourself quite yet ... some doctors like to rule out some diseases first before doing other tests. Were there specific symptoms that made him want to check for that?

Doctors scared my brother doing just the same thing! (and it was NOT cancer)

Is it lymphoma?? sorry my english is not very good. In greek it is called lemphoma and I thought that was the word....Anyway.....Glad your brother is ok. Doctor said we should check it because I was missdiagnosed for 12 years, I kept getting gluten and now that I've been gluten free for 4 months I still have severe intestine pain and nausea (about 5 times / month)..He said that there is a chance and that we should check it......I still do not know what lymphoma is....He said it is not something fatal and that's all....

My GI also said that it's important for us to be screened for lymphoma. It's something that Celiacs need to be aware of.

Mine uses an upper GI to check, though, not an endoscopy.

He said gastroscopy and colonoscopy....I am a little bit confused I do not know the difference with endoscopy....anyway....ok of course I'll check it since he said so...but I am a little bit terrified...

gastroscopy = they look at the stomach

endocscopy = looking at the stoamch and then small intestine (the part of the gut that is right after the stomach)

colonoscopy = looking at the large intestine.

In each type of examination they use a thin flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, they can also take small tissue samples with this "tube". The name of the tube is an "endoscope"

Many endoscopic procedures are considered to be relatively painless and, at worst, associated with mild discomfort.

Endoscopy means looking inside and typically refers to looking inside the body for medical reasons using an instrument called an endoscope.

Please talk to the nurse or the doctor about your fears and have them explain it to you. It is scary when doctors wnat to do tests, and normal to be fearful. Post here as often as you need to!

It sounds like your doctor is very good - he is wanting to be thorough and that is a good thing. :)

Take care and let us know how things turn out...and how you are doing :)

sandy thank you so much for the support....I hope too my doctor is worth trusting him. He swears I am not going to feel pain at all, and I just called him about lymphoma and he said that ok there is a possibility but it is something we can deal with. I will let you know about the results...

And guess what.....

Yoy actually speak greek....endoscopy, colonoscopy, gastroscopy are Greek words...It is so cute you trying to explain endoscopy....endo = in, scopy= see, colon=ass...(sorry for the bad word....), gastro=stomach (it is actually ancient greek not modern greek...so you can say you speak like sokrates....much cooler he he ).....I just did not know their medical meaning....I mean ok endoscopy means looking inside, but inside WHAT thing?? Thank you for the explanations..

You are really being helpful here you know. You (may) not understand it but it is really good for me just to know that I can speak to someone about it. I haven't said anything to my boyfiend or my friends cause I don't want to upset them. Of course they will support me no matter what but I just want to protect them in case the whole thing turns out to be nothing bad (I hope that this will be the case).

Thanks again sandy

I'm really glad your doctor is being careful! :)

I wish everybody's doc was as good....

Open Original Shared Link

There is a strong association between celiac disease and gastrointestinal lymphoma. Lymphoma is four to 40 times more common, and death from lymphoma is 11 to 70 times more common, in patients with celiac disease. Delay in diagnosis-and possibly a diagnosis of celiac disease in adulthood as opposed to in childhood-may be associated with poorer outcomes. Several studies suggest that adherence to a GFD reduces the risk of lymphoma in patients with celiac disease.

Your doctor sounds like a good one. You have gotten some good feedback on that.

I just want to thank you for bringing back lots of memories with this post. We had lots of fun in terminology class making new words out of the greek roots. Not wanting to be a rectodynia here, although many here have considered me one :D , and send things off topic. Just wanted to thank you for the memory jog.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      By Beverage · Posted

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Hello everybody!  I am a Swedish guy 39 years old with typ 1 diabetes. I signed up on this forum because I need som help with my problems with my stomach that have been going for 2 years mabey a little more.  My problems is following: I have egg burps, its taste like rotten eggs also called sulphur burps, and it’s so horrible. After the burps mabey, a 4-5 hours, I must have a toilet nearby because then I have diarrhea. And that can last for a day mabey, sometimes a couple of hours. When I have going to the bathroom and the diarrhea is over no more burping. After wards I am so tired and get sometime headaches. When I got these episodes I must call in sick to my work because I can’t work I am so exhausted.    I have been to my house doctor and have taken tests. I took blood samples gluten and lactose. I have also this week taken feces samples, that I am gooing to leave to the doctor at the end of this week so they can take it into the lab.    When i first visit my doctor is was not my regularly house doctor, and he sad mabey it’s gluten so stay gluten free and see if helps. Well, I did it and like for 10 days everything was so good, I hade some constipation but no burps or loose stools. But then after those 10 days my doctor called me and asked me If  I had taken a test for gluten, which I had but she said ok but it’s negative have you been eaten gluten when you did take the test and I said no, so the test was negative of course.  She also had looking over my blood samples and I have  ”Postive for HLA-DQ2, subtype DQ2.5 ”  And because I have diabetes typ 1 the doctor wanted me too to go the hospital to get a gastroscopy. I am wating for my time in the line for do that. I have also for a month now getting some kind of rash, it looks like blisters don’t know if I can upload a picture to show it?  I try my best to be gluten free, but this weekend I was out with some friends but I drank gluten free beer but also redbull with vodka and I got really drunk and mabey I got my friends glass and I had been drinking regular beer no gluten free.  My doctor said stay gluten free until the hospital calls you. So I am, but still it can take 4-5 days I got egg burps and then diarrhea, and I can’t for my life figure out how i got gluten in me. The only thing that 3 weekends in a row now, I have been drinking beer gluten free and booze.  The booze have also been gluten free. Still when the weekend have passed by it got new episodes of burps and diarrhea. I have also have this kind of episodes when I’m not drinking any alkohol. We have also clean out everything that is gluten in our home.  I feel so confused about this, I mean is it so easy to get gluten in your body?    Sorry for long wall of text I hope you had the time to read everything.
