Had My 1st Follow Up Endoscopy

I had my 1st follow up endoscopy yesterday since being dx'd almost a year and a half ago. My doctor wanted to do a colonoscopy at the same time, since I've never had one.

The colonoscopy showed a slight hemroid, no suprise and no big deal. Although the prep was super fun!! I had to go to my primary doctor today for another appointmet (thyroid), and he was making fun of me (in a nice way), that I was so lucky to have a colonoscopy at my age. LOL!

The endoscopy showed definite signs of celiac, but my villi are growing back. The doctor said there were some that were laying down flat, but she expects them to come back aswell. I had total flattening of the villi (doctor said I was one of the more severe cases they've seen when diagnosed), so I have / had a lot of healing to do.

Overall the results where good. She seemed happy with my progress, and almost as importantly I feel great.

I kinda wish I'd been more healed, but I have to remember how bad my damage was to begin with.

I am very glad you're healing, even if it takes quite a while. And you're right, a hemorrhoid is no big deal, knowing that you could have things a lot worse. I hope you keep healing as steadily as you have, and will have complete healing soon!

That is really such good news, Jillian! You are well on your way to being completely healed :) I'm glad that you're feeling well--you obviously are doing a great job with the diet.

My colo also showed internal hemorrhoids--I would have never known they were there! :D They are common, and nothing to worry about.

LOL!! That was to funny! Thanks for the laugh.

Wait, you mean every 29 year old doesn't have an internal h. and takes a higher dose of calcium daily than a senior citizen!!! Hehe!! (No but seriously, the recommended dose on the bottle says 2 pills a day and my doctor wants me to take 3). What can you do but laugh, I mean none of it is life threatening. There are certainly worse things. :)

I have those lovely h-things too. Yes, Preparation H...isn't not just for under-eye bags and reducing zits. :P

Jillian- You must teach your villi the ways of the Jedi. They must use the force to grow!

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
