What's The Biopsy Like?

Hey, I was just wondering what to expect post biopsy? Recovery? Pain? Diet?

Also, anybody in Atlanta GA use Children's Digestive HEalth Care (at CHOA- scottish rite)- we use Dr. Cohen, but I've heard there is another dr that specialized in toddler celiac disease not far from him. I'm thinking about switching dr.s if she's dx.

It is one of the best surgeryies you can have because there is really no pain and really no big recovery. All of mine I have just been a little sleepy afterwards because of the anesthesia but it get better the next day because they surgery is so short they don't need to use much of it. You might have a sore throat for a couple of hours to like 2 days, but it really isn't that bad.

My son (20 months old) had his biopsy one month ago. I was worried too and it indeed was nothing. Since he didn't have any appetite keeping him from eating was not a big task. The worst part was waiting to go into surgery and THEN having the IV in his hand after was driving him crazy. Have whatever clear liquids your daughter likes best ready after and I had a Wiggles movie and DVD player handy too. That settled him right down. Hold off on dairy for a few hours. I ended up giving tylenol right after the procedure and then one more dose. His voice was horse for about a day. A week after (gluten free) his attitude was totally better and now one month after he is eating like crazy and has 2 teeth coming in! The gals at daycare call him "the happiest baby in the world" and he really is. The biospy is the start of something great becauss then you can go gluten free and never look back. :D

hi my daughter just had the biopsy done. i know it is scary but she was asleep and her throat hurt a little after it for a day or so. they put her out through her iv. she was in the recovery room just until she could drink and go to the bathroom. she had no pain and her diet didnt change much just clear liquids for 24 hours

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.

      I wasn't given any blood tests. I think I should try the gluten free diet because when I cut it out a few weeks ago for just a couple of days, I know I started feeling better. The difference was actually pretty dramatic. When I learned gluten free eating may cause false negative biopsy results, I went back to gluten full force and feel like you know what × 10. Do you feel it would be okay since the gold standard for diagnosis is behind me or should I wait for biopsy results? In your opinion, of course. I know you can't offer me medical advice.
