Intial results are, her villi were shortened and dr said that he'd bet money on my daughter having celiac disease. Results on Thurs afternoon. In a letter he gave me it shows mild scalloping of duodenal mucosa folds, normal apprearance of stomach and duodenam.

Anyone else have these sorts of results? I'm trying to find out more on the more medical terms thats in the letter.

The duodenum is the top of the small intestine (where they take the biopsies from).

I believe that scalloping of the mucosal folds is an indication of damage caused by celiac disease.

Hopefully your daughter will get some relief soon on the gluten-free diet.

Me too, she's always ill on an evening and now its even worse because her throat is sore and swollen. She can't eat and won't drink much at all. Will be keeping a close eye on her. Looks like they managed to cut her uvula as there's a red line on it which is new. They didn't mention it so I assume it's ok and was done either during biopsy or just after.

Yep I had scalloping visually and on biopsy I had villi blunting and crypt hyperplasia. Weird thing was is that I did have intraepithelial lymphocytes, but not in the great number usually seen. But I'm celiac none the less.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/

      Help with results please. As I have a appt after the New Year.

      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.
