My endoscopy is this afternoon.  I'm a little anxious because I just want to get it over with.  I honestly think there's a high probability of it coming back negative, but it drives me crazy that I won't know for like a week or two, especially with the holiday.

Should they tell me how many samples they took?  Anything I should make sure to ask, etc.?

About six or more tissue samples.  Minimum of four.  

Hang in there!

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?

      I’ve been avoiding oats and dairy and simply been eating more Whole Foods but I somehow always have symptoms.. I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.
