Hello!!  I have been gluten free since 2011 and today I went to my gastro, who did not see me in 2011, with my original Prometheus paper work which has high DGP's on them.  Previously he brushed my verbalizations off that I had it and could not find the test in the mound of transfer papers so I presented the hard copy today.  So I officially have a doctor that supports my gluten-free diet, diagnosis and now is taking my upper abdominal pains more seriously now.  My question is:  Has anyone had a EUC - endoscopic ultra sound?  I know a ERCP has risks but not sure about EUC.  He wants to look closer at my bile ducts and pancreas.  I had pancreatitis several years ago and they took my gallbladder out although there is no notes of stones.  I have been having on and off pain, nausea and bloating since October.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

I had an EUS.  I honestly remember the doctor jabbing the tube in when it got stuck and feeling a little strange during that part of the procedure and raising my hand and them telling me not to. I had a lot of nausea afterwards but that was just from the meds. 

To the best of my knowledge it doesn't carry the extreme risks that an ERCP can. 

Good luck!

      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/
