Hey, I was just wondering what to expect post biopsy? Recovery? Pain? Diet?

Also, anybody in Atlanta GA use Children's Digestive HEalth Care (at CHOA- scottish rite)- we use Dr. Cohen, but I've heard there is another dr that specialized in toddler celiac disease not far from him. I'm thinking about switching dr.s if she's dx.

It is one of the best surgeryies you can have because there is really no pain and really no big recovery. All of mine I have just been a little sleepy afterwards because of the anesthesia but it get better the next day because they surgery is so short they don't need to use much of it. You might have a sore throat for a couple of hours to like 2 days, but it really isn't that bad.

My toddler son (22 months... I think :) ), and I , have both had the biposy, and its realy nothing to it. He might have a sore throat and be a little groggy afterwards, but thats about it.

My son (20 months old) had his biopsy one month ago. I was worried too and it indeed was nothing. Since he didn't have any appetite keeping him from eating was not a big task. The worst part was waiting to go into surgery and THEN having the IV in his hand after was driving him crazy. Have whatever clear liquids your daughter likes best ready after and I had a Wiggles movie and DVD player handy too. That settled him right down. Hold off on dairy for a few hours. I ended up giving tylenol right after the procedure and then one more dose. His voice was horse for about a day. A week after (gluten free) his attitude was totally better and now one month after he is eating like crazy and has 2 teeth coming in! The gals at daycare call him "the happiest baby in the world" and he really is. The biospy is the start of something great becauss then you can go gluten free and never look back. :D

Jacob was alittle over 2 when he had the biopsy..and I worried for NOTHING...The longest part of the procedure was waiting to get him in....He was groggy afterwards but did just fine...It was alitt funny to be honest...He wanted to get up and was like a DRUNK...

You have nothing to worry about at all!!!

hi my daughter just had the biopsy done. i know it is scary but she was asleep and her throat hurt a little after it for a day or so. they put her out through her iv. she was in the recovery room just until she could drink and go to the bathroom. she had no pain and her diet didnt change much just clear liquids for 24 hours

      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
