Pain After Endoscopy

I had my endoscopy on July 29th with biopsies and tonight I have had pain (worse than usual) in the upper abdomen. I shouldn't have pain after the biopsy, should I? I didn't think to ask the GI doctor about pain from the biopsy. It could also be the gluten. I've had it with eating gluten for two months. I think my intestines have had enough. I took some Pepto-Bismol and it really helped. Back to gluten free now. I see the doctor next week for the results. The nurse showed me a picture of my intestine but the doctor said we have to wait for the biopsy.

Yes, I had a sore throat also for a couple of days. I never read any post here about anyone having a sore belly after it but I guess it could happen.

You could feel the biopsies? What kind of sedation did you have?

I am glad the Pepto helped it was what I used to. I had pain also however I didn't do a gluten challenge for the last one but had a nasty reaction to the prep. Doc gave me Prilosec cause he found lots of irritation but since I had no pain at all before the procedure I decided to give the pepto a try first. If you still have to take the pepto for more than a few more days I would check with the doctor. Note - the pepto can make your stool black if you are taking it frequently. But if you notice black stool and you have stopped the pepto or if you start to run a fever do call your doctor.

Okay, thanks for the info. My stomach is a little sore, but definitely is better. I figure I'll remember today August 1st as the start of my gluten-free lifestyle. I read a lot of your posts and I know you suggest to start eating simple and that's what I'm going to do.

How long did you have the pain after the procedure?

I had a lot of belly pain after my endoscopy. They blow air into your belly to be able to see the lining of your stomach better and so your belly may feel very distended, tight and sore. It took a couple days for me to start feeling better. Going gluten-free will also help :)

Good luck,

Jillian

For me it was just a few days and it never reappeared.

I felt a kind of tugging sensation and it felt tender immdiatley they took it,i think i must have had very little saliva that day cause the whole procedure seemed to be dry and tuggy in my pipes (for want of a better description :huh: ) the area of the biopsies felt a little tender for days after.I am still uncomfortabe today actually and its four days ago now,i can still feel the area in my throat that was made sore.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
