I had a endoscopy on the 20th of july and i dont quite understand my result.

 

 

Indication
dyspepsia and nausea and/or vomiting
previous helicobactor pylori serology was positive
clinically important comments: Epigastric pain.

Report
apparent mucosal junction at 37cm from incisors
OESOPHAGUS. grade a oesophagitis(mucosal breaks confined to the mucosal fold each no longer than 5mm) within (a)
STOMACH. gastritis: mild erthematous/exudativewith no bleeding within (b)
DUODENUM. duodenitis; mild assocaited with patchy erthema within(c)


ive had stomach pains for years and was diagnosed i.b.s.
i had no pains or discomfort in the lower abdomen and pushed for diferent results.
after a lot of wasted time i finally got these results (20th of july).

ive pains in the bilat renal area and suprapubic and have had for sometime.
are these connected?
what do my results mean?

The pains you experience with IBS and the pains and problems you are experiencing now are probably connected. Doctors have found that there is a nexus linking IBS to GERD and other complications. Believe it or not, I am actually a sufferer of all of those things.

Your result is saying that you have indigestion (dyspepsia) and have been infected with h. pylori - a harmful pathogenic bacterium that is present in 50% of stomach ulcers.

The report is telling you that your esophagus is mildly inflamed, as well as your stomach lining. Your intestines might also be inflamed.

I definitely think that all of these are connected, and that the pain you are experiencing is from extreme inflammation from various parts of your GI tract.

I dont think i had I.B.S

ive never had any troubles in the lower abdomen, exect when my stomach swells, the whole area seems to swell.
but ive had no other indications to say i had it. the test the gi done even showed negative ( stool test etc).
The byopsie from my endoscopy also showed negitive for helicobacter. I had it before but was givin meds and it went away.

ivhad an ultrasound near the start, but that should nothing and was like almost three years ago.
I dont even know what they were looking for.



I have a urology appointement as im producing white bloods cells in my urine.


I have been diagnosed all in with Dyspepsia, Chronic Fatique Syndrome, Vitamin D Deficeincy, and the above three.
also idications over the years of low immune system (not yet been investigated)
ofcourse Depression as the above all is a bit much to handle and causing more bthan health problems.


I just want better im 22 and feel like for the last three years i have been mistreated and dismissed to the point im cracking up lol.


any further help would be amazing?

There is no stool test for IBS.  Perhaps you mean IBD, inflammatory bowel disease.

 

It is true that prior infection with h. pylori will result in positive antibodies.

Are you taking vitamin D supplements now?  How is your vitamin D level?  Have you had a colonoscopy?

yeah i have low vitamin levels. and i am taking two tabs a day for it.

the doc at the hospsayed he tested mystool for muscus and protein wich apparently show signs of i.b.s.
ive had an endoscopy but no colonoscopy, dnt thinki needone

Stool tests for mucous (perhaps he meant calprotectin) is a test for INFLAMMATORY bowel disease, not IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME.

The absence of calprotectin is a pretty good screen for no inflammation, but it is not really a diagnosis. If your symptoms persist I think you should consider a colonoscopy. If your vitamin D levels are not getting into the normal range you should talk to your DR about increasing the dose of your supplement. Low vitamin D can cause depression and fatigue, fYI.

i have chronic fatigue. andi dont knowwhat the guy at the hosp was all about his head was up his bum.

i have never had any problem at the lower end of my abdomen.only slight swelling when the gnawing pains occur in my stomach, like the whole abdomen goes in to protection.

i dnt know y he came to theconclusion og i.b.s but i had to take i.b.s tablets for two years before he even listened to me.he was very dismissive.
