Ugh Displaced Mind

The enema could have helped. Keep that in mind next time you're clogged up!! It could also be that your stress is lower .... you've been worried about this test for a while!

I was thinking the same things.

Glad it's over, Lister and that you're back home. Take it easy tonight--get some rest. :)

Ugh thats horrible! I don't do blood or needles, I get sick at the sight of blood. The last labs I had done this woman had to poke me 3 or 4 times, all the while she was explaining to me what she was doing, I passed out right there in the chair...not fun....

Hi Lister,

Glad it's over & you're feeling better!

Sorry about all the mishaps en route, but I hope some answers come from the biopsies.

If doc said it was normal to bleed, I wouldn't worry about it after two days. If it's for a week or two, then I might be concerned.

anyone know what a stigomoidoscopy rules out?? i know not cancer because it only covers 1/3d of the colon but i know it rules out colitis anything else?

_________

so i dont know what to think anymore. since the prep, i have been feeling pretty good, still always tired and i got some mild stomic discomfurt but my stomic is definatly doing way way way better then it was, im starting to think maybe half my problem was just i was really clogged up and the enemas cleared out the clog.. dont know could be completly wrong, but i do remember 5 months ago when this all started when they where doing xrays they said there was a stool lodged in my colon that was not moving at all.. so maybe i blasted it out and that was what was causing my problems (wouldnt that be awsome) o well just gotta play the waiting game some more for real answers

Lister there are exercises that you can do that help move a "lazy bowel". For one you can get on the floor on all fours, your knees & elbows, then take one leg & stick it straight out back & draw it to your chest, do those a few times & then with the same leg lifted off the floor & bent, lift it sideways, then repeat with the other leg, you can also take one leg and instead of straight out bend it at the knee & slightly lift up. This used to work for me when nothing else would.

well i just got the results back from the stigmoidoscopy, well that was a waist of fricking money. they found nothing with the biopsis so now he wants to do a endoscopy/full colonoscopy- at the same time (omg ahhhhh) i dont think i can even go thru with that procedure, i meen i guess i could suck it up and do the colonoscopy but the endo seems kinda extreme to me. plus the money OMG..... the next apointment is past october so im going to be living longer with no fricking answers. its fricking bullcrap omg i hate all of this fricking crap..and now he wants me to start taking like medamusul and crap to try to regulate me. doubt it will work just more money waisted

Sorry lister, I hate going to the doctor period. Needles, blood, sterille rooms, creepy hallways, the whole experience stresses me out. With your sypmtoms both procedures are a good idea. Why didn't they just do a colonoscopy in the first place? :blink: Well at least for both of those procedures you won't feel it, and its pretty easy to get through...I remember after my colonoscopy they found nothing, and told me to come back for a follow up appointment. I was so ticked off at not having any answers, and so tired of doctors I just wrote them all off and sat at home sick and stubborn for 3 months. After awhile things got worse than they had ever been so I went back and got my endoscopy, then was diagnosed. Just hang in there jump through their hoops and eventually they will figure it out....

Ya I know I went through the same thing, I kept getting on the internet and googling my symptoms, and that didn't make matters any better trust me. I thought I was dying seriously, I never thought for a million years it was what I was eating.

i have been on a gluten-free casien free diet for almost 6 months now, i really dont think its something i was eating anymore. But yeah i dont google myself anymore. all it does is make it way worse, all that comes up is stomic cancer or colon cancer, both of wich i know i probably dont have im to young. i probably have chrons like the doc thinks but if its chrons i dont know how he is going to be able to stop the weight loss since chrons is not really treatable they just give u meds to stop complaining. for some reason the doc wants me to go get a bunch of blood work done next week, dont see the point since he sgoing to be scoping me soon i think hes just after my wallet

      Inconclusive results

      By deanna1ynne · Posted

      Dd10 was tested for celiac four years ago bc two siblings were dx’d (positive labs and biopsies). Her results at the time were positive ema  and ttg (7x the UL), but a negative biopsy. We checked again three months later and her ttg was still positive (4x the UL), but ema and biopsy were negative. Doc said it was “potential celiac” and to keep eating gluten, but we were concerned about harming her growth and development while young and had her go gluten-free because we felt the labs and ema in particular were very suggestive of early celiac, despite the negative biopsies. She also had stomach aches and lethargy when eating it. We just felt it’d be better to be safe than sorry. Now, four years later, she doesn’t want to be gluten-free if she doesn’t “have to be,” so underwent a 12 week gluten challenge. She had labs done before starting and all looked great (celiac panel all negative, as expected.) Surprisingly, she experienced no noticeable symptoms when she began eating gluten again, which we felt was a positive sign. However, 12 weeks in, her labs are positive again (ttg 4x the UL and ema positive again as well). Doc says that since she feels fine and her previous two biopsies showed nothing, she can just keep eating gluten and we could maybe biopsy again in two years. I was looking up the ema test and the probability of having not just one but two false positives, and it seems ridiculously low.  Any advice? Would you biopsy again? She’s old enough at this point that I really feel I need her buy-in to keep her gluten-free, and she feels that if the doc says it’s fine, then that’s the final word — which makes me inclined to biopsy again and hope that it actually shows damage this time (not because I want her to have celiac like her sisters, but because I kind of think she already does have it, and seeing the damage now would save her more severe damage in the long run that would come from just continuing to eat gluten for a few more years before testing again.)  Our doc is great - we really like him. But we are very confused and want to protect her. One of her older sibs stopped growing and has lots of teeth problems and all that jazz from not catching the celiac disease sooner, and we don’t want to get to that point with the younger sis. fwiw- she doesn’t mind the biopsy at all. It’s at a children’s hospital and she thinks it’s kind of fun. So it’s not like that would stress her out or anything.

      Buckwheat

      By Inkie · Posted

      Thanks for the replies. I already use a gluten-free brand of buckwheat flakes I occasionally get itchy bumps. I'm still reviewing all my food products. I occasionally eat prepackaged gluten-free crackers and cookies, so I'll stop using those. I use buckwheat flakes and Doves Farm flour as a base for baking. Would you recommend eliminating those as well? It's a constant search.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.
