I haven't been able to eat solids for a month lost about 40 pounds so the doctor put it in as an emergency endoscopy anyway he didn't find anything but he did widen something and I can swallow better now but now my throat hurts and I'm having mild chest pains when i swallow. I swear I cant get a break, not sure if this is normal or not I just want to eat for god sake. I'm also scared I caught that freaking virus by going into the hospital but I was desperate to eat again. Oh well guess we will see in the next two weeks.

Does it only hurt when you swallow? Do you have pain at other times or when you lie down to sleep? Was the doctor who did the scoping a gastro doc or a GP?

I am sorry this is happening to you.  

It sounds like you had this procedure done for reasons other than  investigating a celiac disease diagnosis or do you already have have celiac disease in addition to the swallowing issues?  

I am sure your GI gave you information about this procedure and it’s potential side effects.  Consider calling your GI and addressing your concerns.

Call your doctor and ask for the doctor to call you back or to speak to a nurse. They will know what procedure was done and if this is something you should worry about. Hope you get some answers and are feeling better soon.

      Nightmares

      By Femke · Posted

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.
