Mpost. I've been a nurse for many years, if I can answer any questions I will but I am not allowed to recommend medications or supplements. There's never a silly question, don't be afraid to ask....Judy :)

Well, I am disappointed again . . . I just came back from my doctor's appointment. He went over the lab results and everything came back negative. I was just about to ask him about the celiac panel when I saw him writing it in my chart. I was surprised to find out that he had done a celiac panel on my initial labwork and that was part of the negative results. I have not gone gluten-free so I know that didn't confuse the results.

He scheduled me for a colonoscopy and still says that he thinks it is Krohn's or Ulcerative Colitis. I told him that I didn't understand how either of those could be my diagnosis since my only "like symptom" was the chronic "D" and he said that was all it took. This just doesn't seem right to me.

The colonoscopy will include biopsies so we will see what that brings. I don't understand the negative celiac panel results when I met so many of the symptoms described.

From what I have read, Chron's can also give you all kinds of trouble. Go for the colonoscopy - it will at the very least rule out a few more things and make you feel better knowing that your colon is ok (hopefully). Sounds like it is doubtful that you have celiac if you bloodwork was negative, but if the colonoscopy comes back fine too, I would push for an endoscopy. By that time they will have either found something out or ruled everything out but food allergies.

      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!
