Hi Everyone!

Please wish me luck tomorrow - I have my colonoscopy. Depending on what the biopsy results are, depends on whether or not I need to be admitted to hospital for prednisone treatment....

Please send good luck vibes my way!

Thanks!

Karen

Hi Guys.....

Well, it is over and done with, thank God.....

I really didn't feel too much during the procedure because he gave me Demerol and Valium, so I felt REAL GOOD!!!

The prep stuff was horrid, of course.... The last thing a person with chronic diarrhea needs to take is Citro-Mag and Kleen Prep!!!

He said afterwards that he removed several polyps and took about 16 biopsies from top to bottom, and that they have been sent to the lab for testing.... he said we should hear back by Monday.....

Keep your fingers crossed for me!

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
