Lanigan's Procedures Today

So Lanigan had the scopes and biopsys done this morning. Every looked heathy with the naked eye, but he took 11 biopsies from 4 different areas. We will get those results back Monday. Dang the waiting. We will get all the lab results then as well. He is thinking he might have eosiniphilic esophageous something or another(long word mommy hasn't quite memorized yet). Again, we will know Monday. If his biopsies don't show anything, we are going to be hospitalized for a week at least while they try to figure out what his deal is, establish a pattern etc. The prob with that is that he has no pattern. But, guess we will see.

Anyway, he is doing well after the procedure, but is horribly groggy(of course).

I agree the waiting stinks. I am glad he is doing well after all that poking. I will be looking for your post on what you find out.

We go to another dr on Monday for my DD. Her blood work wasn't negative like I had been told and dr admitted I know more about celiac than he does so he referred me on. Hopefully we can get Kirsten diagnosed so we can help her on the road to recovery. (well, that is another post in pre-diagnosis so I won't ramble on here)

Hopefully you will actually find something out on Mon and not have to live at the hospital for a week. Good luck. :) Kendra

Hi there, I just wanted to say that when the dr did nicole's biopsy she said she didn't see any thing with the naked eye also. But when the results came back,She had it.

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
