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

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.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
