Follow Up Endoscopy (and While We're At A Colonoscopy)

I go for my 1st follow up endoscopy on Wednesday. I've never had a colonoscopy done, and my doctor had said when I was first diagnosed that she would like to do one on me when I have my next endoscopy. I guess she actually wrote that on my chart because she didn't seem to forget. LOL!!

Not so psyched about the prep for the colonoscopy, but oh well.

I feel great, so I'm hoping the results of the endoscopy show my intestine is healing well. (I had total viloscopy; and the doctor had said I was a really extreme case).

Hope all is well and healing nicely!

I had both colonoscopy and endoscopy done at the same time back in April. It combo procedure wasn't bad at all, but you're right, that darned prep is not that fun, lol.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
