What's The Biopsy Like?

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

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

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
