I Guess I Was A Little Crazy

I had my endoscopy & biopsy today and elected to do it without a sedative so I wouldn't be knocked

out the rest of the day. Even with a double spray of the stuff in my throat, & using every relaxation technique I could think of, it was VERY difficult & traumatic to go through. But, I did make it through, & once I remembered to breathe more & keep my eyes closed, it got a little easier. The nurses told me I'd done better than many of the people who DO have sedative, which I thought was interesting.

I'm still so tired today though, & feel nauseous from the whole thing. Glad it's over! Now I just have to wait & see what the biopsy shows. The doctor said he didn't see anything abnormal through looking directly, though I've only been back on gluten (a challenge) for 6 weeks now.

Today I'm back gluten free again! Whoo hoo! :D

Thanks for all the support!

Thanks, Judy. I appreciate the kind words! :)

I'll keep everyone posted on the biopsy results.

Enterolab did say I'm positive for all the gluten tests, plus casein too. :(

Also, I have 2 copies of the HLA-DQ1 genes, which explains all the neuro symptoms I've had.

WOW! I'm impressed too. I know having a baby without an epidural is a woman power but getting scoped without anything that is something I would not even consider doing myself, I bow down to you. Well I guess if I had a baby without and epi then I could have had a scope done without anything sedi. <_< or maybe a little crazy.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      When the pizza was dropped off she told me it had a Udi's certified gluten-free crust. Even so, I am trying to play things as safe as possible for at least the next 6-months. With that said, I returned the two slices to my neighbor and asked her to thank her mom for the pizza. 😊 I will likely bump into my neighbor's mom sometime next week. She sh...

      Both homemade vinegar and fermented pickles have wonderful flavors of herbs, spices and tartness. However, fermented pickles contain healthy probiotics whereas vinegar pickles do not! https://cleanfoodliving.net/fermented-pickles/

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Colleen H, How are you doing? I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them. Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten. So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn. I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together. ...

I used Clear Eyes 1% NAC lubricating eye drops for several years until the FDA forced them off the market.  In 2015 I had cataracts in bofh eyes.  In 2019 my left eye was clear, right eye was improved.  They are back now.  I discovered new companies with the drops at higher NAC but went with 500 mg NAC capsules.  Spread the cheer 🤓. My impression so far is the NAC is doing good.  Best with meal.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.
