Endoscopy fears

Hi there,

I’m due for an endoscopy (currently no longer have a date due to COVID) and am just very nervous about what to expect. 
I have quite a low pain tolerance and an awful gag reflex, would it be worth me requesting sedation for the procedure or is it not that bad?

I’m the first member of my family (that I know of) to have one so just don’t know what to expect. 
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated (please be brutally honest)

I have had it done twice, too.  Very easy, no worries.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      Help with blood test result

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By Gluten is bad · Posted

      I have Celiac, and just got diagnosed with ADHD as well, but the internet is not being helpful in researching which meds are safe for me or not. Does anyone know off the top of their heads which ones are safe?
