Ednoscopy

[Bune]

For those of you who've had an endoscopy/biopsies done, can yout tell me how long it took to get the results back?

I not to sure if diffrent places take a longer or shorter amount of times. I had my endoscopy done almost 2 weeks ago and my surgeon said it should take about two weeks to get the results back. So i'm guessing probably any were from 2-3 weeks, depending on how busy the lab is.

I had my biopsy done on a Wednesday afternoon and I had the results by that Friday. So about 2 days for me. However, every lab is different, I called my doctors office and got my results. I probably would have had to wait longer to find out if I hadn't called.

Did they suggest that you start a gluten free diet? I know I can't cut out gluten until after the test, but if there is any way cutting out gluten would make me feel better, I'm very eager to start.

I started the gluten-free diet the day of my endoscopy. I asked my doctor after the endoscopy if I could and he ok-ed it.

that sounds like a good plan. Even if the tests came back neg, If excluding gluten from my diet makes me feel better I'll stick with it. I'm tired of being sick and feeling yucky all the time.

Yes, the diet is worth a try either way, you may have a gluten or wheat intolerance if the celiac results are negative. I hope you find an answer and feel better soon. Keep us posted
