Post-Endoscopy Questions

I honestly know it’s celiac — especially due to the small intestine inflammation and what my doctors told me. I guess I wanted the biopsy result as well because I’m so used to people doubting my conditions. I didn’t want to be invalidated again as I was for so many years. I think what I have right now is enough, I’ll get the genetic testing then figure ou...

Hi, thank you for the kind wishes! So the reason why I didn’t eat gluten a month in advance is because my reaction to gluten is so severe that last time I attempted to eat gluten longer than a week I almost ended up in the hospital. That’s why they did an endoscopy/biopsy with a short gluten trial along with the genetic test. I suppose it’s an attem...

Hello, I was urged to get an endoscopy by both this website and my doctor. I made a post about not being able to do a blood test because I couldn’t eat gluten without vomiting/going to the bathroom for days straight. So… before this procedure, I went gluten free for ~2 months. I ate gluten a week before this procedure. I’m not exactly sure how accurate this ...

Hi, I am going to meet with my new GI doctor in a week. I am going to eventually get an endoscopy/biopsy, and I will be going through the diagnosis process. Recently, I’ve been ridiculously busy and haven’t gotten the chance to do the blood work. However, I have been getting exposed to gluten at my work. I haven’t went completely gluten-free, *yet*. I m...

confusedandsick replied to Aussienae's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I’m medically recognized as gluten intolerant and I’m currently being tested for celiac disease. The back pain in particular resonates with me. At first, I thought it was because of my scoliosis. But then, it only really happened after I was exposed to gluten. I found out that this can be due to excess gas being stuck in the abdomen. It causes a lot of ...- 65 replies

Hi, I recently posted here talking about my journey suffering from (probable) celiac disease/gluten intolerance. So, I got the referral for a blood test. I can’t do it. I tried to eat gluten for around two weeks. I could barely even eat the recommended daily amount for the test. I’m losing weight, I’m having cognitive impairments, and I feel dangerously ill. ...

About to get a blood test, scared and sick.

Thank you for all of the ideas! Your story sounds very similar to mine. Now that I went to the doctor, people are slowly beginning to believe my struggles. I think that they’re starting to understand it’s serious now. I was in the same place, I was sick near constantly. I couldn’t find out why. I’m so glad to hear you recovered from a lot of the mental health ...

Thank you so much for this advice. I want to try that biopsy because I’m really afraid of what a month of gluten will do to me. Thank you for educating me about this alternative. I have actually thought about genetic testing in the past, but I don’t have much money right now as I’m a broke college student. I would be willing to save up for it because going...

Hi, thanks for your response. I appreciate it! To answer your question, my family is notoriously known for never getting their health issues looked at. However, I do know that bowel issues run in both sides of my family. Just not to the extent that I have. What’s this two week gluten trial? I don’t think I could handle 6 weeks without more damage to ...

I’m sorry that this will be vent-ish, I just want to know if anyone has similar experience. Hi, I’m female and 18 years old. For the past few years, I’ve been suffering extreme bowel issues. Constant gas, nausea, bloating, chronic diarrhea. Around a year and a half ago, I noticed something off with my stool. It had become yellow with a “greasy” “mucus...
