Polyps In Gallbladder

my stomach has been hurting so they sent me in for an abdominal ultrasound and found polyps in my gallbladder. dr said they will probably just remove it. but she wants to wait until i have my colonocopy next month.

i am curious if anyone else has had this, and if it is associated with celiac disease? my dr does not know but i will be meeting a gi doctor next month. and if anyone knows anything about this, would a problem with the gallbladder cause weight loss?

I had an ultrasound last summer due to elevated liver enzymes and continuing D. I was also found to have gallbladder polyps. The technician told me that they were very common. The radiologist concurred that they were benign.

Interestingly, I had an endoscopy following this, and they found stomach polyps. These were biopsied, and also benign.

My GI does not feel that this is connected to the Celiac, since it's a pretty common finding. However, the elevated liver enzymes, she feels, are "Sprue related".

Gallbladder problems are common in pregnancy because of the increased estrogen. They're also common when your intestines are damaged (from celiac disease, leaky gut, IBS, etc...) because your gallbaldder, liver, and kidneys have to work extra hard to compensate. Bile and undigested fats can back up into your gallbladder and form stones.

I'm sorry that you're having a hard time with this! :(

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      This might be helpful to you at this point:

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?
