Hey all. It's been a while since I've been on here. Just alot going on. My gastro doctor is going to scope both my stomache and colon tomorrow. Since my stomache's stapled and banded, I've had to drink liquids since yesterday. Boy it's been so hard!!! Being Celiac and only drinking home made chicken broth and green tea....I had a really bad headache yesterday but today I seem to be ok so far. Today I've got to drink all this liquid stuff to clean out my colon so I'm worried about just how weak I'm going to be. Yall keep this Texas Chick in your prayers as I've had continuous problems all resulting from my Celiac.

Check in with yall later,

Celia

Good to see you again.

The test is not a big deal at all. I had both, but not at the same time. Each time, they gave me a shot and lights went out. Woke up and had no issues, just a sore throat for a day of so.

But make sure that you take someone with you who can speak to the dr. after the proceedure. You won't remember the conversation.

The worst part is drinking the junk you are now. Good luck, and please don't you worry. It is sooo easy.

The worst part is the preparation ... you'll do fine for the procedure. Take it easy when you start eating again ... treat it like getting over the flu ... you don't want to shock your system after this long fast!

Hi Celia,

I just want to wish you luck tomorrow. I had both procedures done on the same day last year--once you're done with the prep, the rest is easy! :)

Just adding my support and prayers! I've had both at the same time the prep really was the worst part for me! I'm not sure if the stomach stapling/banding makes any difference in that regard, lol, bathroom time was NOT fun. :P

Well I've made it thru the day with all this liquid stuff I had to drink. Tomorrow morning just can't come soon enough so I can get this over with.....and I can eat again. I'm sooooo hungry right now!

Just think of us all holding you hands The worst part of it is the anticipation.

Trust me, the proceedure is nothing to worry about, but you will only know that when it's done.

Kisses and hugs.........and do let us know :)

Hang in there! Maybe you can go to bed early so you don't have to think about food. Pig out tomorrow! :)

Hope you sleep well. Take care.

I fully agree that the worst part of the whole ordeal is the preparation, once your through that, the rest is a breeze!

Will be thinking of you tomorrow and saying prayers for a good ole Texas girl!

Hugs.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
