When I had a upper GI endoscopy done earlier this year, there were some abnormal findings, but none of which could explain the full extent of my symptoms. The findings were gastritis, duodenitis, duodenal ulcer and "dilated lacteals". The latter discovery led to an immediate suspicion of celiac, which was later dismissed after the biopsies were shown to be negative for it, and it was later forgotten about. I also tried gluten free diets in the past to no benefit.
There isn't much published anywhere about it, and it appears to be better documented in dogs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangiectasia
Is anyone familiar with this condition and what other possibilities it suggests besides celiac? I only found one other article, where it's reported in a case of lupus https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2220736
