As I said previously, eating a lot of gluten the day before an endo is not likely to change the results one way or the other.

I would wear loose, comfortable clothes--they will have you change into a gown for the procedure.

I wore flannel pajama pants and a long sleeve top. For the procedure itself they make you wear a gown. After the procedure you may have a sore throat so soups and other foods along those lines might make you feel better.

They just told me to wear something comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I wore sweats and slip on shoes (flip flops, lol).

My throat was very slighly sore, so yeah, something easy to eat was good...although I was so hungry after the first endoscope/colonoscopy that I had a nutrition bar on the way home, lol.

I agree that eating wheat the day before won't accomplish much if you haven't regularly been eating it.

My daughter just wore her pajamas - we were the first scop of the morning and had to be there EARLY. I don't remember what she got to keep on and what she had to take off. My husband got to keep his pants but not his shirt and wore a gown. Good Luck tomorrow.

Eating a bunch of gluten now won't really do anything...so you should eat whatever you are comfortable with. I wasn't allowed to eat before my procedure, I wasn't allowed anything to drink either, had to stop at midnight the night before. After the procedure I wasn't very hungry, but they gave me a muffin and some juice in the recovery room. Later that day I had a nice cold fruit smoothie.

I would wear something comfy. They made me put a gown on for the procedure, but it was nice to be comfy on the ride home, and while I waited to get signed in and get things started.

Good luck!

      New labs are now very elevated

      Hello, I was very stick, with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel. Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change? What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?...

      Is Cracker Barrel`s gluten-free menu safe for kids with celiac disease?

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to...

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
