Endoscopy Today


Brit

Recommended Posts

Brit Rookie

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.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
