Good News About Bad News

I have to eat crow. I recently posted a topic Good News - Bad News - where I talked about my recent colonoscopy and endoscopy. I said that the doctor had not taken a biospy of the stomach though he found and diagnosed gastritis. I was wrong. He simply failed to record that he taken both stomach and intestinal biopsies. I found this out when my GP received the lab report on the gastritis biospy. So I take it back - he is only somewhat incompetent. He failed to provide the complete information and then he prescribed Prilosec but once he had the biopsy results he did not order an antibiotic. Now I have to try and get a hold of him and get another prescription. The gastritis is H. Pylori - bacterial infection. Prilosec is not an antibiotic and by itself it is useless of curing an infection. H, Pylori It is not that uncommon in the general population but my GP tells me that in this area where I live (southern PA, U.S.) it something rarely ever seen. No one knows why that is.

Endoscopy results should be in by the end of the week. Claire

Make him eat it. Not prescribing an antibiotic was plain negligence on his part. Besides, I've heard crow tastes terrible.

Yea Claire--Not prescribing the antibiotic while he KNEW you had the H-pilori is in my opinion worse. And why do you have to chase him down for the prescription, anyway? Jeesh!

It is the most god-awful meat you could ever imagine. I think it is because they are scavengers and aren't picky. Words cannot describe what those birds taste like.

I've never met a person who ever admitted to tasting crow. :ph34r:

Claire -- have eaten enough crow in my life -- definitely not fun. However, given his bigtime mistake of no antibiotics, you don't have to eat ANY. Interesting fact . . . Veterinarians knew 20 years ago that h. pylori caused ulcers in pigs.

I'm not sure if an Altoid is strong enough.

I agree, no reason to eat crow--unless it is a dish you really enjoy, as it is gluten free. :blink:

On another thread, someone's cat was dx with celiac by the veterinarian, and someone said maybe we should see veterinarians. I am beginning to agree. Veterinarian school is harder to get into than med school, since there is only one vet school in each state. The ones that excel make it. :)

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
