Biopsy Done. Waiting On Results.

I had my endoscopy and a colonoscopy done Thursday. I'm still not entirely sure what all he did, but I do know I had some pretty big polyps that they are testing and a hiatal hernia. I'm about 80% sure he did the Celiac biopsy. I should have asked ahead of time but there's been so much going on. And honestly, I don't need a diagnosis to know I need to go gluten free. I know my primary will do the Celiac panel if I need to ask him.

 

Other than the polyps there was no other issues found that could cause bloody stool. On one had that's good, but on the other it's scary because I have all the symptoms of colon cancer at this point. But I'm trying not to freak out about it too much right now. I'll know more Wednesday.

My neighbor has polyps it sent her to the HOSP. she has to be on a special diet to keep her from bleeding. Look into it sweetie and see if your supposed to be on a special diet for that. And you do know you have got to be eating Gluten for the blood test to be positive...

Good luck on Wednesday and let us know.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
