I've had 2 of them for other reasons than your NP is suggesting. I'm doing it for detox because I'm on a lot of strong medications for Lyme Disease. It is NOT fun, lol. It's not the worst thing I've ever done, but I also have a really sensitive GI tract. If you tend to be constipated, it's probably a great idea. But I have D a lot, so it isn't as much of a relief when I have one.

If you have any specific questions, you can PM me.

I had about six of these, last year, prior to going gluten free. In fact, it was this that eventually led to my celiac disease diagnosis! It IS quite uncomfortable - atrocious ongoing cramps for about 40 minutes - but afterwards, I would just feel amazing. Of course, at this point I was still eating gluten so the amazingness only lasted for so long. But it is so worth it.xo

Wow, Lux thank you for your reply. Good to hear that it does do some good. I have decided to take the plunge and go for it. My NP seems to think that it will be good for me and I have gone every other route to try and get back to normal, why not this?? Lol...I am sure I can live through it if Ilived through the prep for the colonoscopy :-)

Thanks again, and thanks confusedks, i did PM you will a few questions.

Cheers :-P

Take it from me, hydrotherapy is like a sweet dream after having had to go through endoscopy prep! :D *shudder*

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      Correct. I’m doing both in the same go though. Thanks for clarifying before I confused someone. I’m doing a colonoscopy for something else and then they added the endoscopy after the test.

      It is a biopsy but it's not a colonoscopy, it's an endoscopy.

      Well I’m going on the gluten farewell tour so they are about to find out lol. I keep saying biopsy but yeah it’s a scope and stuff. I’m a dummy but luckily my doctor is not.

      The biopsy for celiac disease is done of the small bowel lining and in conjunction with an "upper GI" scoping called an endoscopy. A colonoscopy scopes the lower end of the intestines and can't reach up high enough to get to the small bowel. The endoscopy goes through the mouth, through the stomach and into the duodenum, which is at the upper end of the intestinal track. So, while they are scoping the duodenum, they take biopsies of the mucosal lining of that area to send off for microscopic analysis by a lab. If the damage to the mucosa is substantial, the doc doing the scoping can often see it during the scoping.

      Yeah I had zero thoughts on celiac it was an ibs referral. She suspected celiac when she started questioning me and I already needed a colonoscopy which I guess is why she didn’t care that I had been fairly gluten free up to that point. Because they would have just done the biopsy when doing the colonoscopy. I don’t know we will see just figured I’d put that info on the forum in case someone finds it interesting later. I’ll update in April when I find out.
