Endoscopy Tomorrow


Coryad

Recommended Posts

Coryad Rookie

Hi All,

I am finally going for a double-dip tomorrow ;) Endoscopy and colonoscopy. I had cancer 2 years ago and because I had pelvic radiation, my oncologist suspected I had radiation proctitis. When I met with the GI he went over everything very carefully and said he really felt it was celiac... so here I am.

Because I am "cleansing" today, I must say I haven't felt this good in years! No bloating, no nausea, no poo issues, clear head and my joints are less painful.

My major symptoms have been:

Diarrhea

Constipation

Sweats

Hot flashes

Bloating

Nausea

Very sore joints

Sleep issues

Fog

Major fatigue

I also have Pernicious Anemia, Hashi's and the jury is out on Rheumatoid arthritis. So with all of those autoimmune problems, I'm fairly certain I also have celiac.

Even if everything comes back "normal" I'm going to go gluten free.

Wish me luck!

Cory

The best of luck, Cory - sounds like you are on the right path. (Don't) follow the breadcrumbs. :D

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.

      Another great fiber option is dried apricots. Four of them give you 3g of fiber and I find they don't produce all the gas that some other high fiber options do. They taste good too. Costco sells a large bag of them that are labeled gluten-free so you don't have to worry about cross contamination issues like you might in bulk grocery settings.

      Wow, that's alot of info, Thanks!!!! I had my intake with Nutrionist where we went over basics and then will have follow up where we will talk about all the questions I've come up with (including the fiber question and so many more). I'll talk to her about the info you provided as well.  Thanks again (newbie here 😀)
