Biopsy Done Today - Opinions Please...

My daughter had the endoscopy done today. Her report states that "the duodenum looked normal but no villi could be appreciated macroscopically." We have to wait 2 weeks for the biopsy results. Her Ttg was 22.

Any thoughts?

If she is done with all testing you can go ahead and start a trial of the diet. Hopefully the doctor took at least 6 biopsies but be aware that there can be false negatives with them. The biopsies do need to be examined microscopically before the results can be given. Her response to the diet may give you the most conclusive answers before you get the testing results.

Yes, wait for the biopsy. Nothing was seen on my daughter with the scope but the biopsy showed alot under the microscope. You could try a gluten-free diet now if you wanted.

Ditto Divamomma. Doctor saw nothing with endoscopy but biopsy proved positive.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By trents · Posted

      Current "gluten challenge" recommendations are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) daily leading up to the day of the biopsy.

      Testing for celiac

      Thank you for your input!  I would really like to know if I have celiac disease because you need make sure you are not getting any cross contamination due to cancer concerns.  I guess I need to start with a knowledgeable Gastroenterologist. Thank you again!

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.
