“Bowl Issues ”
Just had a colonoscopy. I was negative for pylori and colitis. Part of it was to check for celiac disease. Just got the results back online and it says this… “Negative for villous atrophy, crypt hyperplasia, increase in chronic inflammatory cell population within lamina propria and intraepithelial lymphocytosis.”
What does this mean?

This is a nonspecific Finding.
I would check blood work - TtG IgA and total IgA as well as HLA DQ2 and DQ8 for further clarification.

Hello, I would suggest you go back to your Gastroenterologist, but if that is not possible, please call us at (310) 471-9917, make an appointment and bring your results with you so the Dr can discuss the findings with you. Thank you.
Those results sound like they came from an upper endoscopy. not a colonoscopy.
The findings are not diagnostic for celiac but are sh0owing some non-specific inflammation. You will need to follow up with the doctor who obtained the biopsies. It's also important to know if you were on a gluten free diet at the time of the upper endoscopy.
