InactiveMy son had his endoscopy yesterday and I’m not really sure what to make of the results. The doc said that his esophagus and stomach actually look good (no signs of irritation that would suggest allergies), but he noticed some mild edema and granularity in the duodenum. He briefly mentioned Celiac disease, but went on to say that it is unlikely at this point since Colin is only 5 1/2 months and has not had any solids with gluten. He took biopsies, but the results won’t be back from the lab until next week. Has anyone else had this sort of result? If so, what did the labs show? My son is exclusively Bfed, and I have not eliminated gluten foods from my diet, so it’s possible that the gluten in the Bmilk is causing problems (I know the research on this is somewhat mixed). However, there is zero history of Celiac disease in either my or my husband’s families (still, I know that anything is possible).
I should probably just sit still and wait for the labs to come back, but I’m not very good at that…
Thanks for anything that you can share.June 4, 2008 at 3:12 pm #52214Anonymous
InactiveI’m not quite sure. I would imagine that the gluten you eat is passed through you breastmilk so I guess it’s possible.
We had a eDG and when everything looked fine iin the O.R. the biopses came back fine.I hope the resutscome back fast for you.June 4, 2008 at 3:46 pm #52215Anonymous
InactiveHi, I do not know the answer to this, but we have a user named Christine- her username is ‘kevieb’ who has 3 kids with celiac. I don’t think she or her DH have it either. I might be wrong. You could PM her or maybe she’ll see this message. You could also copy and paste this message under our Celiac/Coeliac disease forum. I hope it’s not celiac. Good luck.

Inactivehi heather,
we don’t have any history of celiac disease in either of our families, as far as we know. there is probably someone with it in both or our lines that has never been diagnosed—since kevin and i both carry one of the genes for it.we have 11 kids between the 2 of us. kevin’s 2 older kids have not been tested genetically, but my 2 from my first marriage and the 7 that kevin and i have had together have all been tested genetically. all 7 of the kids that we have had together carry one of the genes (3 of them have celiac) and one of my kids from my first marriage also carries one of the genes. my oldest son is the only one who does not carry it. we joined a celiac study last year, so all of our genetic testing was done for free—-otherwise it would have cost a fortune.now we know that we need to be tested periodically to see if the disease has activated in any of the rest of us.let us know what you find out. -
