A Public Apology To Coffee

Dear Coffee,

As you know I never drank much of you during the week. But on the weekend at brunch I would have a couple of cups right alongside my pancakes, French toast, or breakfast tacos. Who did I blame for all the symptoms that inevitably followed such a feast? You! For years I thought you were the problem and I wasn't afraid to say it to your face. Coffee, thank you for your patience and your forgiveness. Let's get to know each other again. Yes, I WOULD like another cup.

Sincerely,

Chakra2

Coffee is very forgiving esp when you give him a bit of cream and splenda :)

If only my doc had told me to give up wheat instead of coffee for my gastritis...

What a GREAT sense of humor you have!

I'm on my lovely patio right now (8:30 a.m. in Sacramento 62* (that's my substitute "degree" sign)) having my allowed 1 cup a day. I'm feeling very grateful right now.....

I too have had to cut back. I also can't really digest coffee you get at fast food or corner market places. I too am grateful for my one cup a day. Otherwise it tears up my digestive tract.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By trents · Posted

      Well, the only thing I would conclude with would be, if you choose not to trial the gluten free diet, is to encourage you to get periodically tested, either antibody blood tests or the biopsy or both. I think it something that needs to be monitored.

      So the strange thing is I don't have any symptoms at all, except the soft stools (comes and goes) which they told me was from the Lymphocytic colitis. I had some mild positives on my antibody test and one gene was positive which is what made my doctor go ahead with the endoscopy. The reason they started any of this was finding the lymphocytic colitis this past summer after I had C Diff and she said, Well....it may be from something like Celiac.... Definitely a lot to learn through all of this and I appreciate people like you taking the time to help out a stranger like me!

      Well, I wouldn't rule either out. And you might consider trialing a gluten free diet for a few months to see if symptoms improve. That would tell you a lot. By the way, the incidence of other bowel diseases is higher in the celiac population than it is in the general population. And even if you don't have celiac disease, you could have NCGS. Gluten is just problematic for a lot of folks for various reasons.

      Thanks for taking a look. I also just did some research and saw that increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes and villous distortion can possibly be from lymphocytic colitis (which I was diagnosed with this past summer)....so fingers crossed this is what she will say it is.

      IMO, Part 3 has some abnormalties that could indicate the early stages of celiac disease but the doctor is tentatively thinking not, at least at this point.
