My Endoscopy Today....

I just got home, I'm resting - my head feels like it's about 10 feet above my shoulders - but I feel alright. And, my throat hurts a bit...but not too bad. It really was no big deal. Like Penguins experience... the IV was the worst part, and even that wasn't too bad.

I'm pretty frustrated by my results......

1. Esophageal Stricture (narrowed widening due to scaring of the esophagus

2. Hiatus Hernia (OMG)

3. Reflux Esophagitis

4. Duodenitis - patchy inflamation, erythema, & edema

Biopsies taken - results available in 1-2 weeks.

So, what do you guys think.... celiac or not? Based on the above information....

Needless to say... I've been placed on a very strict diet - eliminating all my favorite foods. Tomatoes (can I cry, seriously!), chocolate, peppermint, ANY fried foods, coffee (UGH), alcohol...etc. I have a whole lovely list of NoNO's along with the gluten-free diet recommendation.

Goodness gracious, I'm a MESS!!!

I'm so glad things went okay for you, no biggie huh? I had mine on the 15th and the iv was the worst part. lol. :rolleyes: They found hiatul hernia during mine also, food was still in my stomach, and he said just by looking celiac, but we'd have to wait for results. 3 or 4 days later I knew for sure it was celiac. Hopefully you wont have to wait the whole 2 weeks, ugh! Glad all went okay for you...Julie

Happy to hear you're back home and did ok! :)

Aren't you glad that you had it done? These are things that you wouldn't have known otherwise.

If they don't call you by the day that they told you the biopsy results will be in, make sure to call them--my experience is that they're not so good about getting back to us!

Get some rest ;)

Yep, glad I had it done otherwise I would never have known how BAD my reflux was. I assumed that I just had normal everyday reflux. But, I have scarring! That's not good. =(

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any...
