I am going to the Gastro on Wednesday for a Colonoscopy, hopefully the beggining of some answers. I am going to push for the Celiac blood test as well as testing for other intolerance too. My question is this. When the hell did they change the colon clean from 6 oz to a whole freaking gallon?!?! This should definetely make my Tuesday night exciting. LOL.

It seems to depend on the doctor. Mine prescribed pills that were GYNORMOUS! The dose was 4 every 15 minutes until I had taken 12.....this was at 11am. Then the same thing around 5pm. They were very difficult to swallow. Ugh! Other doctors around here use the liquid. At any rate, stay hydrated! Good luck.

I did the whole gallon, too. It seriously wasn't that bad until the diarrhea hit hard but even that wasn't that awful. I'm in so much pain from a back injury that diarrhea (about 20 times) took my mind off my back for a few hours! :P

Good luck! I hope all goes well.

You'll certainly be flush with excitement or anticipation after that monster gallon. Brings back memories. I was so happy when my followup a year later was only fir an upper.. just fasting.. no other prep needed. The nurse laughed at my overwhelmingly happy response to being told that little fact.

Dunno. They called it peptic soda. It was a clear liquid that tasted like Sprite. But man it cleared me out.

LMAO!!!! Good luck scottyg. Glad you have a sense of humor about it. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Sent you a pm this morning. Have a look. I'll send you an update about Jerry's kids and you can fill me in on the details and findings of your testing......."mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied, that leaves only me to blame cuz mama tried..."

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      If you suspect celiac disease a blood panel for it would be the best option. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some...

      Your only resort would seem to be directly contacting the manufacturer and ask some pointed questions about CC . . . and hope you get some straight answers. You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label...

      It may be naturally gluten-free but I worry about cross contamination as my kiddo has had bad reactions if things aren't actually gluten free.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed. He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old. The first month he went gluten...

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      Maybe you picked up a little intestinal virus? Maybe some ingredient in the gluten free processed foods you've been consuming is causing this. In order to simulate the texture that wheat provides, a lot of gluten free products contain ingredients that may cause digestive distress. Xanthan gum and similar polysaccharides are among the chief offenders.

You are probably already aware of this but the label "Gluten Free" does not necessarily equate to zero gluten. "Gluten Free" is a standard established by the FDA whereby a product can use that label as long as it does not contain an amount of gluten exceeding 20 ppm. There is also "Certified Gluten Free" which is a third party certifying standard signifying that the product does not exceed 10 ppm. There are limits to detection technology much below that.

      They will have to put him back on gluten in order to get accurate tests results, so all the progress may be lost for a while. My grandson was 2 1/2 years old when he, his father, and his mother, were diagnosed.  He was not even on the chart for height or weight and had not been on the chart since he was 12 months old.  The first month he went gluten free he gained 6 pounds and grew an inch.  Unfortunately, he missed a whole lot of opportunity to grow in those first years.  He remained the smallest, skinniest kid in the class until high school when he clawed his way into the middle row for pictures.  He is 20 and topped out at 5 ft 6 inches.  His mother is 5'7 in a family where everyone is 6 feet tall or more.   His younger brother was 7 months old when he was diagnosed.  At 18 he is 6ft tall.  Best to catch it as early as possible.

      Welcome @Ems10, Isn't is wonderful how a simple change helps. Gluten free eating is not a punishment.  It does take attention to details when buying processed foods.
