Help With Biopies Results

My daughter had an endoscopy on 1/12 and I recieved her results today. I spoke to the doctor which he said everthing looked fine and I should stop her prevacid becuase he didnt see any signs of acid reflux or any problems for that matter. The only results on the final report I dont understand is this one:

Esophagus at 15cm:

Spuamous epithelium with dilated congested lymphatic channel.

Operative Findings

LES at 23 cm. EGD Grossly nl.

I dont know what that means now it could be completely normal but I would jsut like some other input. I really thought daughter had celiac but her blood and biopies say otherwise. I am debating on wheter or not tojust try to GFD like I orignally was untill I got these results. Also on the 4 biopies they took all it says is withinin normal limits nothing else. Could there be more to it and the pathioglist just didnt write it down?

Thanks

Janelle

How old is your daughter? I think I would try the gluten-free diet. What have you got to lose? Even is she is gluten intolerant and not full blown celiac you may still really notice a difference.

She is 21 months.

Thanks, I want to try but everyone thinks I am crazy since everything points to her not having it.

My understanding is that the blood work is grossly inaccurate in small children. At 21 months I'd certainly give it a go while she is still small and its easier. Have you thought about enterolab?

If it makes her feel better, then what else do you need?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.

      Be sure to look at the inactive ingredients, as it might still be naturally gluten-free.
