Two Days After Endoscopy -- Very Sick

I am just wondering if anyone else has had this experience after their endoscopy. I had mine done on Monday afternoon...and I haven't been able to eat anything, just keep drinking Gatorade. My abdomen feels like it was pulled out and I have a fever. I called my GI doc and he thinks it may be the flu...I have felt like I had the flu off and on forever so I can't say what it is. I am sooooo tired and unable to consentrate. My GI doc said my small intestine looks pretty bad and he has no doubt it is celiac disease...however he took 3-4 biopsies of different areas and tested me for a bacteria in the stomach that can cause ulcers....that test was negative. I just feel awful and I missed work today and will have to go in on Saturday to catch up on my work....what a mess!

I had mine on Thursday. I am pretty sick too but I think it has more to do with being untreated for whatever undiagnosed problem I have. I am trying the low residue diet to see if it helps. Potatoes and rice are a staple for me as well as jello and yogurt. I, too, am missing work. Of course it waits for me so when I do stay home I can not relax because now I am getting more stressed about how much work I have which makes me sicker.

I am sorry I don't have any answers for you but I do know how you feel!!

Thank you for your response. I think my intestines feel bad because they are a mess. The GI doc said he hadn't seen blood test results as high as mine, and the small bowel matched it. I talked to his office today and I am going to be sick for awhile because he irritated an already irritated part of my GI tract. I also am sicking with clear liquids, rice and potatoes I was able to get mashed potatoes to stay down at lunch. I am feeling very frustrated and overwhelmed too I think. I have known now for over a month that I would have to become gluten-free eventually but I guess I wanted a miracle and the GI doc to say...oh no it isn't celiac disease so I wouldn't have to change my entire life and eating habbits. But I guess I need to start looking at what I can eat instead of being upset at what I can't eat. Thanks again for your reply. I will try work tomorrow and see what happens.

Thanks again!

Kelly

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Not much use to Canadians but if any British Lindt lovers are looking at this, give Marks & Spencer's Swiss Truffles a try - no barley but same taste. I'm pretty sure that in a blind tasting a coeliac would not know the difference - but then again, if you want to put this to the test, get a non-Coeliac to try this! I don't want anyone here to get glutened...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      I'm based in the UK and haven't tried that bread but in the past have got on quite well with Genius. Mostly I tend to eat bread with added seeds just because I find it more interesting. It is good to speak to another UK coeliac though as I am absolutely sure that up until recently a lot of the bread I was eating had added vitamins - but when I...

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      IMO, the information contained in this article is extremely important. Several medical science articles I have run across lately indicate that researchers are just beginning to uncover connections between gut health and diseases we would never have imagined as having a link. One example is Parkinson's. But this sentence caught my eye from this article...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      @Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given...

Mostly I tend to eat bread with added seeds just because I find it more interesting.   It is good to speak to another UK coeliac though as I am absolutely sure that up until recently a lot of the bread I was eating had added vitamins - but when I was in Tesco's today I couldn't find a brand that did.  Am I imagining this?

      CT with contrast.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t diagnose celiac disease but can help rule out other causes of abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, or inflammation. Your doctor may be looking for complications, structural issues, or conditions that can mimic celiac symptoms. So while the CT isn’t part of routine celiac testing for everyone, it is normal if your doctor wants a more complete picture of what’s going on.

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Say what you will about Peter Osborne, but he gave me back my life.  Back in 2007 he was not promoting grain free, but came to that conclusion a few years later.  While I did OK on gluten free, I really saw the greatest recovery when I went grain free.  I notice a huge difference if I eat a gluten free food that contains any sort of grain. I ache all over, have digestive issues and my rash comes roaring back.  I think it is probably, because grains are sprayed with Glyphosate in the drying process before being shipped.  Thanks, but I will stick to my organic, grain free diet and continue to feel well at 73.  Not missing out on nutrients as I follow a strict supplement plan based on testing.
