Hello!!  I have been gluten free since 2011 and today I went to my gastro, who did not see me in 2011, with my original Prometheus paper work which has high DGP's on them.  Previously he brushed my verbalizations off that I had it and could not find the test in the mound of transfer papers so I presented the hard copy today.  So I officially have a doctor that supports my gluten-free diet, diagnosis and now is taking my upper abdominal pains more seriously now.  My question is:  Has anyone had a EUC - endoscopic ultra sound?  I know a ERCP has risks but not sure about EUC.  He wants to look closer at my bile ducts and pancreas.  I had pancreatitis several years ago and they took my gallbladder out although there is no notes of stones.  I have been having on and off pain, nausea and bloating since October.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

I had an EUS.  I honestly remember the doctor jabbing the tube in when it got stuck and feeling a little strange during that part of the procedure and raising my hand and them telling me not to. I had a lot of nausea afterwards but that was just from the meds. 

To the best of my knowledge it doesn't carry the extreme risks that an ERCP can. 

Good luck!

      I am not taking anything except for the multivitamins that I purchased from the supermarket.

      The critic acid and sodium citrate is corn unfortunately and they don’t have to label corn because it’s not part of the top 9 allergen and not mandatory 😭

      Yaya, from the JAMA study you refer to: "Taking 60,000 international units (IU) a day of vitamin D for several months has been shown to cause toxicity." No one on this forum is recommending  taking anywhere near that amount. We're talking about 5-10,000IU daily.

      "Doses higher than the RDA are sometimes used to treat medical problems such as vitamin D deficiency, but these are given only under the care of a doctor for a specified time frame. Blood levels should be monitored while someone is taking high doses of vitamin D." Quoted from the Healthline article @Yaya linked above...
