Hi everybody. I'm new to this place, my mom goes on the site. I'm only eleven. Has anybody here ever had a biopsy done? If so can you tell me how it went, I'm pretty nervous for tomorrow. :(

Hi ,

Just to clarify, this is not Bette, that's my mom, she also uses this message board and told me about the teen section. I posted this message under my moms user name, I still need to set up my own-- whoops.

KK :P

Hey there... no worries about the procedure. It is pretty easy--the hardest part is not eating until its over ! You should be out for the procedure, and not notice anything. You shouldn't feel any pain either. The worst might be that you have a bit of a sore throat afterwards. Good luck!!

Bette Explorer

Gee thanks. :D That makes me feel better. Im just kind of freaked because knowing that your'e going to get a tube shoved down your throat, although they tell me they are going to completely knock me out.

You won't feel a thing. When I did the procedure 25 years ago, I was fully conscious, and the only unpleasant part was getting sick as the tube went down. The biopsy itself is painless, as there are no nerve endings in the lining of the intestine.

Cheers,

Yeah, I've had 3 and no issues with any of them :)

Bette Explorer

Wow, well I guess I have nothing to really worry about now except for the part of not eating or drinking liquids.

(I wonder if I'm the youngest on this board?)

DragonQueen Explorer

Yay :lol: Finally I got my own account with my own avie! I'll tell you all how my biopsy went.

You kind of freaked me out, because I private messaged with your mom a few times.

Good luck and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I juat got back from the hospital. It went great!!! It was no biggy :D

DragonQueen Explorer

The only bad part was not being able to eat or drink. I was soooo thirsty.

Congratulations! :) I bet you're sleepy now, right? :P

DragonQueen Explorer

ya...zzzzzzzzzzzzz. I slept all day!!

Carriefaith Enthusiast

I'm glad it went well... when do you hear about your results?

DragonQueen Explorer

The doctor will call on Friday.

jenvan Collaborator

Glad it went well!

stef-the-kicking-cuty Enthusiast

I'm glad it went well :lol: . Keep us posted about the results.

DragonQueen Explorer

I got the results today, the doctor says i'm not Celiac now but maybe in beginning stages. He's putting me on the gluten-free diet for 3 months. No pizza, etc.,etc. :(

stef-the-kicking-cuty Enthusiast

Just because the biopsy is negative, doesn't mean, you're celiac. The damage to your villi is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not clever to wait that long, just to see the prove in the biopsy. If you feel better on a glutenfree diet, you might still be a celiac :o . I hope you feel better soon on the glutenfree diet :) . And don't be sad about the pizza. With the development of the glutenfree food we've come a long way. You can make really good glutenfree pizza meanwhile :lol: .

jenvan Collaborator

wow--well, let us know how the diet goes !

      I’m in a flare up with rib pain. I read where others have experienced this after exposure to gluten.  Has anyone found something that eases the pain.   
    • CeliacPI
      Scott Adams/Trents - Thanks!  I will definitely do some more research.  I welcome any and all advice.  
    • CeliacPI
      Yes, I've read that online but I was just surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum specifically.  We have not had our follow up meeting with the Dr where I'm sure she will advise as to how he needs to deal with this ailment.  I have learned from past health issues - if you want to find the REAL truth - talk to someone living with the disease.  THEY will know way more than any doctor ever could.    Thanks for responding.
