Endoscopy Today

OK so I had my endoscopy today! I did well. I went to Westchester Medical Center in the Pediatrics and had Dr. Glassman. It was great there. Anyone who lives relatively close to Westchester Medical Center I strongly recomend going there! The nurses were great and so was the anesthieologist[spelling?]. But they were really awesome there. I was rolled in at about 9:00 this morning and they got tons of pictures of me before I was actually out. They put the IV in me and what they call "special milk" put that into the IV and in within a minute I was out and told my mom that she could leave. But the procedure only took 5 minutes and within 15 minutes when my mom left the room they came out and said she wants you to come in. I guess as soon as I came out I started asking for my mom...lol[i guess thats what you guess with being a mamas girl]. So she came in and was sitting there. And my lips were bothering me[still bothering me] so I asked for either vaseline or windex. They said why windex and I said because Windex fixes everything. My mom told me that I was still gone but I was responsive and my eyes were open. I came up with some funny words I guess and yeah but I don't feel any pain now so it was good.

Thanks everyone who helped me!

I'm glad it went so well! That's funny about the Windex. It does fix everything! It's great for getting spilled red Kool Aide off Grandma's white comforter, and for about any other stain on carpet (especially bird poop). You must have been thinking of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Glad it went well! How long before you know the results? I go for mine tomorrow.

Glad it went well! Yep, apparently on my first scope I was pretty out of it in the recovery room. My mom said I asked the nurse (who was very patient with me, lol) the same question 3 times. Never did remember the answer, or even what the question was, but apparently it was important enough at the time for me to ask it three times (having not remembered that I already asked it). :lol:

How long before you know the results? I go for mine tomorrow.

It took about a week for mine to come back.

Hi Brittany! I'm so glad that everything went so smoothly. :)

After mine, the doctor came over to tell me a few things--as soon as he walked away, I forgot everything he said :ph34r: . I had to ask the nurse to see if he'd come back in and repeat what he had just told me.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
