I made a very bad decision at work today and decided to have a donut. Within an hour I was feeling sick. Within two hours I was throwing up in my car on the way home. Arrived home and laid in bed for a half hour before tossing out of both ends again. Tossed one more time and after 3 and a half hours I am finally feeling better! I am sure it's all due to God because I prayed for his help and told him I finally understand that there is to be NO WHEAT in my life. I am sure I am one of the fortunate ones by only feeling the wrath (is that the right word) for three and a half hours. LESSON LEARNED!

okay, but the immune response from glutening lasts longer, up to four months.

That said, you are fortunate to have lots of symtoms from glutening, as the hidden dammage is worse. Lots and lots of celiacs cheat and many of them only have slight or no outward symptoms but the immune system gets triggered (Tcells etc) and many celiacs have other autoimmune illnesses from the gluten they ate the years before diagnosis.

      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.
