Testing...what To Expect

My 11 yr. old daughter is going in for an Endoscopy (sp) on Monday and I was wondering about the recovery. Is she going to be in pain afterwards? Will she wake up fine?

The reason I ask is because when my son was 2 he had to have his Lymph nodes on his neck biopsied. He was terrified when he woke up. He screamed and thrashed around in my arms for what seemed like forever. He wasn't fully awake even. I worry that my daughter will react the same way. Also, if they are going to biopsy her, will she have pain or will she be ready to go to school the following day.

Thank you all in advance for your help. We are new to this and very nervous.

My 7 yr old had hers in April. We had a great experience. Once she was taken in she was back out in 45 minute so don't go far you will be wanted in recovery room. She woke up groggy we leaned over the bed so she could get hug and as soon as she was completely awake they gently but quickly removed IV. A few minutes later she was sucking on a popsicle because she had a dry mouth. She had a mildly sore throat but not so much that we had a lite lunch on the way home. She had a tiny belly ache and mildly sore throat that night and was fine next day, went to school no problem. She tried to play the sore throat card for many popsicles and I gave in for 2 days then told her that was enough.

Every child is different though but for us, overall not bad at all.

I think it all depends on the kid and the timing. Chris was squeezed in for his endo and therefore he was at the end of the day vs. being in the morning like he typically would for his age. Hoping they'd get him in earlier, they didn't want him eating or drinking after midnight (which included no ADHD meds). His biopsy wasn't until 2:30, so he was starving. When he woke up, he was a little difficult to wake and he woke up miserable. I think he was just really hungry, but he was crying and screaming and complaining about his hand. It was very bruised where they put one of the needles in. We finally got him calmed down enough to get dressed and go grab some food and he eat pretty much everything in site and then he was fine.

I'm glad he was squeezed in because otherwise, he would have had to wait another month to have the endo, but the timing make it awful.

He had the endo done on a Monday afternoon, I think, and he was back at school the next day.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
