Is it normal to not feel well after the biopsy. I had mine done on Wednesday and I'm still not feeling well today. I have tenderness in my belly, sore in my lower back and I'm just not feeling energetic like I used to <_<

thanks

Rachael

The anethesia might have been difficult for you. If the doctors did not tell you about any difficulties during the proceedure, a normal biopsy should not make you sore. Perhaps a slight sore throat.

Although, anytime your have an invasive proceedure there are risks that I'm sure you sign some paper work indicating the possibilities.

I hope you feel better soon and get some rest over the weekend. But, it you have any bleeding or severe cramping, call your doctor.

The anesthesia was difficult, I was so nauseous and throwing up. I guess I just need to rest.

thanks

I had a severe gut ache the day of my biopsy, but no blood or vomiting etc. The next day I felt better but later had the worst occular migraine in my 20 or more year history of migraines. The visual was so bad and caused a partial black out in my eye. I was so scared I called a nurse friend. She came and monitored my blood pressure and pulse for awhile. I think it was a reaction to the drugs. We are in a weakened state of health, it does not take much to upset the "apple cart".

Hi Rachel:

No, it is not normal to still feel bad so long after your endoscopy. I think you should call your doctor right away and describe your symptoms. I was never even unconscious during my endoscopy or colonoscopy, I was eating 1 hour later, and was exercising later that day in the early evening. I was back at work less than 24 hours later. You should not feel tenderness in your belly from an endoscopy so please call your doctor. I am sure you signed a release - find that piece of paper because it always provides directions about what to do if something very strange like this occurs. Good luck - I hope everything is okay! Let us know what happened.

Did you go gluten free after the endosopy? If so thats why you are feeling yucky. It takes a while for you body to adjust.

      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.
