Celia the Celiac Apprentice

Hey all. It's been a while since I've been on here. Just alot going on. My gastro doctor is going to scope both my stomache and colon tomorrow. Since my stomache's stapled and banded, I've had to drink liquids since yesterday. Boy it's been so hard!!! Being Celiac and only drinking home made chicken broth and green tea....I had a really bad headache yesterday but today I seem to be ok so far. Today I've got to drink all this liquid stuff to clean out my colon so I'm worried about just how weak I'm going to be. Yall keep this Texas Chick in your prayers as I've had continuous problems all resulting from my Celiac.

Check in with yall later,

Celia

Hi Celia, I will be praying for you. Hope things turn out well for you. Keep us posted. :)

Good to see you again.

The test is not a big deal at all. I had both, but not at the same time. Each time, they gave me a shot and lights went out. Woke up and had no issues, just a sore throat for a day of so.

But make sure that you take someone with you who can speak to the dr. after the proceedure. You won't remember the conversation.

The worst part is drinking the junk you are now. Good luck, and please don't you worry. It is sooo easy.

The worst part is the preparation ... you'll do fine for the procedure. Take it easy when you start eating again ... treat it like getting over the flu ... you don't want to shock your system after this long fast!

Hi Celia,

I just want to wish you luck tomorrow. I had both procedures done on the same day last year--once you're done with the prep, the rest is easy! :)

So.......how was the test? :)

Just adding my support and prayers! I've had both at the same time the prep really was the worst part for me! I'm not sure if the stomach stapling/banding makes any difference in that regard, lol, bathroom time was NOT fun. :P

Celia the Celiac Apprentice

Well I've made it thru the day with all this liquid stuff I had to drink. Tomorrow morning just can't come soon enough so I can get this over with.....and I can eat again. I'm sooooo hungry right now!

Lisa Mentor

Just think of us all holding you hands The worst part of it is the anticipation.

Trust me, the proceedure is nothing to worry about, but you will only know that when it's done.

Kisses and hugs.........and do let us know :)

Hang in there! Maybe you can go to bed early so you don't have to think about food. Pig out tomorrow! :)

Hope you sleep well. Take care.

I fully agree that the worst part of the whole ordeal is the preparation, once your through that, the rest is a breeze!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and saying prayers for a good ole Texas girl!

Hugs.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?
    • DayaInTheSun
      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.
