The Endoscopy Went Great!

Everything looks normal but we won't get the results of the biopsy until next week, so keep your fingers crossed until then. I'm hoping he doesn't have a bunch of eos and other inflammatory cells like me. I guess they took some biopsys of his small intestinal tract to rule out celiac, so hopefully that comes back ok too.

He was such a big boy, though he did complain a few times about being hungry and thirsty and asked "cookie? Drink?" before being taken back. :)

Congratulations! It's always scary when your child (or anyone you love, really) has to undergo something like this, so don't feel silly about your apprehensions. Just rejoice that all went well! We'll all be hoping for the best!

That's great that everything went well.

Nothing wrong with being concerned about how it would go. That's only natural. As mothers we tend to worry or be concerned about a number of things that face us and our children as they grow.

Thanks! He is taking a nap now, but he seems happy. He didn't get mad at me, he was mad at the medical personell. :)

He didn't like the IV when he woke up, but he didn't try to pull it out. He just kept holding his arm up, looking at it and crying. He was very happy to leave there.

He was pretty hungry too, but I am keeping him from eating too much at once.

They are checking for allergic inflamation, eosiniphils, signs of celiac. He has had milk allergy and reflux since birth and has been on medication since he was born (2 years) so they wanted to look in there and see what was going on.

:) I am so glad everything went well for him! It is equally hard on mom or dad emotionally. I hope you are well too! Take care and prayers for good news.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
