Is it normal to not feel well after the biopsy. I had mine done on Wednesday and I'm still not feeling well today. I have tenderness in my belly, sore in my lower back and I'm just not feeling energetic like I used to <_<

thanks

Rachael

The anethesia might have been difficult for you. If the doctors did not tell you about any difficulties during the proceedure, a normal biopsy should not make you sore. Perhaps a slight sore throat.

Although, anytime your have an invasive proceedure there are risks that I'm sure you sign some paper work indicating the possibilities.

I hope you feel better soon and get some rest over the weekend. But, it you have any bleeding or severe cramping, call your doctor.

The anesthesia was difficult, I was so nauseous and throwing up. I guess I just need to rest.

thanks

I had a severe gut ache the day of my biopsy, but no blood or vomiting etc. The next day I felt better but later had the worst occular migraine in my 20 or more year history of migraines. The visual was so bad and caused a partial black out in my eye. I was so scared I called a nurse friend. She came and monitored my blood pressure and pulse for awhile. I think it was a reaction to the drugs. We are in a weakened state of health, it does not take much to upset the "apple cart".

Hi Rachel:

No, it is not normal to still feel bad so long after your endoscopy. I think you should call your doctor right away and describe your symptoms. I was never even unconscious during my endoscopy or colonoscopy, I was eating 1 hour later, and was exercising later that day in the early evening. I was back at work less than 24 hours later. You should not feel tenderness in your belly from an endoscopy so please call your doctor. I am sure you signed a release - find that piece of paper because it always provides directions about what to do if something very strange like this occurs. Good luck - I hope everything is okay! Let us know what happened.

Did you go gluten free after the endosopy? If so thats why you are feeling yucky. It takes a while for you body to adjust.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese s...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Kirkland brand (at Costco) is gluten-free and is 2,000 IU.

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise...

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also...

Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.

I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.
