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

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
