Hello all. I'm a lurker and this is my first post. I had an EGD and colonoscopy bright and early this morning. I'll be going back to sleep, again, shortly, but I wanted to ask a question.

Does anyone here know what Erythematous duodenopathy means, exactly? The internet has actually been less than helpful and I'm kind of wondering what to expect from my biopsy results. My GP suspects Celiacs, but my GI wanted tests before he would venture a guess.

Any help is wonderful. Thanks.

:) - Heather

Thanks. From my lurking, this seems a very friendly and helpful kind of place. I have ended up here several times in my research.

Welcome to the board. If my memory of medical terminology is correct Erythematous duodenopathy means that you duodenum was red and inflamed. And yes this could be from celiac. I hope the biopsies give you a definate answer but even if they are negative you should give the diet a good strict try.

I, apparently, slept right through this response and forgot I had even posted. Yay, Versed. I have a follow-up in the 19th with my GI and I'm hoping for an answer then. Since the colonoscopy prep gave me a nice, good cleaning out, I've been paying much more attention to what I eat and the effect it has on me. I wish I could say that there are foods that don't make me feel sick, but it is really just a matter of degrees of sick feeling right now.

However, food with no gluten makes me feel much less sick, so even if the results are inconclusive, I think that is going to be the way I go. Of course, sadly, I am kind of hoping for a confirmed diagnosis. I am sick of being sick. :(

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
