Seeing The Specialist In 3 Days :-x

I shouldnt be afraid of seeing this specialist---I saw him twice before (he was the one that performed my first colonoscopy)

I guess I'm just afraid of him not knowing the answer to my problems either! I have the copy of the letters from my recent test results (to give to the specialist) I'm gonna type both up and maybe you guys can decipher lol .. all my family doc said was they both turned up negative obviously, but half these words I cant even say!

"BARIUM ENEMA FOLLOW-THROUGH:

CLININCAL HISTORY:

This is a 22-year-old female with a historhy of weight loss, blood diarrhea

FINDINGS:

Normal small bowel and the ascending part of the large bowel. Normal preistaltic movement and flow. No evidence of abnormal dilatation of the small bowel. No transiet intussusception or filling defect. Normal fill pattern of the jejunum and the ileum. Normal appendix has been demonstrated.

IMPRESSION:

Unremarkable study."

and.....

"INDICATIONS: HISTORY OF BLOODY DIARRHEA.

...blah blah blah...

PROCEDURE: COLONOSCOPY.

FINDINGS: Examination was carried up to the cecum. The cecum was identified by the triadiate fold and ileocecal valve. Examination up to the cecum was normal. No mucosal lesion was found to explain her symptoms. It is likely that her diarrhea is of infective origin.

ENDOSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS: NO MUCOSAL LESION FOUND - IT IS LIKELY THAT HER DIARRHEA IS OF INFECTIVE ORIGIN"

...................

Well theres the OFFICIAL wording :lol: If anyone can understand that, great, cause I cant haha ... we know it isnt infection causing it because like I said, I've been on the meds 3 times this year already (this'll be my 4th) and he gave me one of the strongest doses, so it should have killed it the first 3 times if it was an infection!

It is saying that your food and waste are moving normally through the various parts of your intestines and that there are no signs of damage to the intestines that would cause bleeding. The bleeding you have had, they believe, was caused by an infection in your intestines that appears to be healed.

This is my opinion: They are not sure where the blood came from. Your small and large intestine seem normal. They didn't seem to find any direct evidence of the blood origin (such as hemroids, infections, lesions, ect). The blood you had may be from something that they can't see or something that was there and is now gone.

I wish you luck at your appointment and I hope that they can help you find an answer.

God, I cant even concentrate on homework tonight, too busy thinking about Tuesday no matter how hard I try not toooooo

Remember: This specialist decides me next step--if I should be tested again for something else, or if not, do I go to another province?

I'm thinking of taking my list of Crohn's symptoms that I put together and that I've checked off which of them I've had (which is almot all), see what he thinks of that...

Lisa--

Definately take in your list of Chron's symptoms, and jot down anything else you can think of that might give the doctor a clue as to what is wrong.

Your new picture is cute! Good luck on Tuesday :)

Nothing to add Lisa:

well like i said, I still swear I have it..it would explain my trouble with eating veggies too, and anything else! And I know what its like to have a disease and have no proof: thats how it was with Celiac!

Thanks for liking the pic, I figured I should show that I really AM the #1 Habs fan ;) (and thats how I look during any hockey game I watch--ALWAYS must wear a hat and jersey!)--just wish it wouldnt make me look squished :lol:

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/
