So I finally had the biopsy about 2 days ago, so I am now gluten free YA! I am so excited about that, Finally. The biopsy went pretty good, it takes like 5 mins to do, and you go home like an hour later, so that was good. The doctor said it looked "Normal" but that they usually do look normal until a pathologist looks at them under a microscope, but I was free of ulcers anyway. He said the results can take up to 3 weeks, so I won't really know anything until then, but he said start the diet anyw
So I now have one more week before my biopsy, the waiting really sucks, regarless of the results I am going gluten free. I read on here how inconclusive the results can be for the biopsy, and that really blows my mind as the doctors say that the biopsy is the only way to get a 100% true diagnosis. Then what are the results from the blood work worth. I mean if someone has High blood work and the biopsy is negative then what are you supposed to do.
This really sucks not knowing, Well I mean I kn
So I seen the specialist yesterday and discussed the endoscopy/biopsy and believe it or not I only have to wait another week and a half to have it done and then I can go gluten free. He really told me to try and keep eating gluten so the results will be more accurate. If he had of said anything over a month I probably wouldn't of waited. I mean my blood work results were so high that I probably don't even need to get this done but he said you really sure to be 100% sure considering you will have
Two more days till my consultation with the gastronlogist, hopefully after that my appointment for the scope will be relatively short becuase I don't know how much longer I can keep eating gluten, it really feels like its killing me. I also have another appointment with my family doctor to request complete vitamin and mineral blood work test, since she never did it last time I was in. I also go for my lactose intolerant test on Tuesday, but I really don't think there will be a problem there, but
Well today I thought Might be a good day and so far it has been not too bad, My muscles are aching really bad in my shoulders and neck. My stomach was bothering me earlier so I took some of my Pariet, which usually makes those terrible aches and pains go away. For the muscle aches I usually pop a few IB profen or advil. Wish I still had some of those really strong pain killers those would definatly make the pain go away.
Only a few more days till I go see the doctor that will be doing my biops
Well I am happy in a way that I finally found out what is going on with me, and why I have felt this way for years now. The only crappy thing is that I know have to wait to get the biopsy done before I can start the gluten free diet. I have a consultation with the surgeon on tuesday april 1st, and then who knows when the actual biopsy will be. I actually went shopping yesterday and bought some gluten free food, because I was so sick the past few days, I do feel a bit better but still very tired
