We know she needs that official dx. And here's the thing..... if she goes gluten free & then tries to go back to gluten for an endoscopy she's likely to have a MUCH harder time. We tend to react far stronger to gluten after we've been off of it. Many people have thought they could go off it & then go back on it because the wait time for an endoscopy was a while but they just screw themselves up by doing that. Some find they get so very sick that they can not stay on it for even 2 weeks in order to be able to get the endoscopy. So please tell her not to make that mistake. It's better to suffer through eating gluten until an endoscopy than to go gluten-free & then go back to eating gluten. 

I know it sucks but that's the best way to do it.

I talked to a lot of relatives today. Turns out i have a few cousins with leaky gut and or celiacs on my dads, dads side and on his moms side almost the entire family has chrones disease. I also have a cousin that has hashimotos disease. One of my cousins died of pancreatic cancer last year and an uncle died of it 25 years ago. Sounds like i have some really bad genetics.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
