Question 1

please describe the name of a disease with holes in the intestines?

Accepted Answer

Diverticulosis?: Possibly, talking about diverticulosis.  But, those are pouches in the intestines.

Question 2

can you tell me which is the name of that disease where you lose a big part of your intestine?

Accepted Answer

Many conditions: One can lose a large part of the small intestine if it is removed because of crohn's disease.  A large segment of small bowel might be removed if there is intestinal infarction due to mesenteric ischemia (arterial or venous) or if there is necrosis of the small bowel due to intestinal obstruction or intussusception.  A large part of the colon may removed if there is a volvulus, colitis or cancer.

Question 3

what part of the intestine is inflamed with crohn's disease?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Crohn's can affect the entire GI tract. The most common area is the distal end of the intestine called the ileum or the first part of the colon or large intestine.

Question 4

i had a biopsy of my small intestine come back with elevated lymphocytes and all the blood came back negative for celiac disease. what r other reasons?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: The hall mark of celiac disease is destruction of the lining of the intestine (mucosal atrophy). To give you a better idea about what is going on i would need a complete report of the biopsy and description of your symptoms.

Question 5

i have celiac disease and am about 20 pounds underweight. i am gluten and dairy free but remain severly thin. will my intestines heal at my age of 54?

Accepted Answer

See below: For celiac disease, the intestines completely heal in the absence of gluten (95% of the time). In 5%, however, enteropathy is refractory to gluten avoidance and may be caused by underlying immune dysregulation (constitutive IL-15 production by epithelial cells for example). Other potential causes for difficulty in gaining weight should be considered too. To begin, an EGD needs to be repeated soon

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Celiac disease: Because of the inflammation of your small intestines a test for celiac is in order.

Accepted Answer

Having said that, I respect your anxiety and encourage you to tell your doctors about it.  Please take a look at www.relaxationresponse.org for a mind-body way to manage anxiety.
