<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello listfriends I would like thank you all for answering me. I cut out some of the answers I got, when asking why they discovered lymphocytes in my intestines. Line Here they are: >>>Few, if any lymphocytes should be present if you're gluten-free. Most >>>pathologists don't look for them or approximately measure them. Only >>>celiac research doctors routinely look at them. They live, if present, >>>in the crypts. Crypts grow deeper with more gluten exposure. >>>Line: the presence of lymphocytes shows that there is an inflamatory >>>response to a substance in the gut - in your case its most likely the >>>gluten. Lymphocytes are part of the imunological response to foreign >>>substances. It shows that you are most likely still not gluten free. >>>Hi there! I will be going in later this month to be tested for celiac >>>disease via a biopsy of my intestine. According to my >>>gastroenterologist, people with celiac disease have more lymphocytes in >>>their intestines than people without celiac disease. That is why they >>>are more prone to have lymphoma of the intestines than non-celiacs. >>>According to my medical dictionary, a lymphocyte is a cell that is >>>present in the blood and lymphatic tissue. These cells travel from the >>>blood to the lymph nodes and back into the circulation. They are the >>>main means of providing the body with immune capabilities. Hope this >>>helps! >>>Lymphocytes are an indication of inflammation. For example my biopsy >>>report said I had an increase in interepithelial lymphocytes and an >>>infiltration by neutrophils and I was diagnosed with subclinical celiac >>>sprue. >>>Could mean that you have lymphocytic colities, a form of microscopic >>>colitis.
