How Much Gluten To Eat Before Endoscopy?

Hi,

So my doctor didn't tell me anything about my test results other than that they were "inconclusive" and that I need an endoscopy/biopsy. At this point I have so many symptoms that I would be pretty shocked if it was negative. I know I can't stop eating gluten before the endoscopy (which is in 2 weeks) but I am wondering to what degree I can reduce my gluten intake? Do I need to be eating it every meal? Every day? Thanks for your help!

No need to overdo it ... one slice of bread per day until the endoscopy is sufficient :)

Thank you!

Another question I have is whether the sedation for an endoscopy is usually similar to what you get for having your wisdom teeth out? I have a VERY intense gag reflex and am kind of anxious about the procedure. But I remember that whatever they were giving me through the IV for my wisdom teeth I had no idea what was happening so that would be good.

I wish i didn't have to wait 2 weeks! So anxious to find out the results

I am having the upper endoscopy biopsy this Wednesday.  I am also having colonoscopy same day.  I joked to the doc will he "meet in the middle of me?"  I am told I will be knocked out for both. I asked did I have to swallow the tubing, etc. and he said no I'll be unconscious.  I don't know how they do what they do and I'm scared/nervous, but it is what it is.  And, I don't even have the blood test results yet, which seems backwards to me.

Most doctors use sedation that makes you feel like you had a good nap....I have heard the rare story of patients not being sedate enough.  Just make sure to discuss your gag reflex and your desire to be sedate during the procedure.

 

Wouldn't worry very much for the double ender...they used more sedation when I had both ends done at once than my previous three endos.

 

But always a good idea to make sure the doc is clear that you'd like to not be awake for the procedure.

 

This is sedation, not anesthesia...you wake up within minutes of the procedure and remain a bit groggy for awhile so you do need a ride home B)

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any...
