Good Afternoon Ladies,

My son is have an upper endoscopy (I think this means both directions) next Tuesday. For those of you that have had one, is there anything special I need to know or tips to help him get through the procedure as easy as possible?

Thanks,

Tamara

An endoscopy is only the top half.

My oldest son sad an EGD last Aug. when he was 10.5. He did really good. They explained everything they were going to do before hand to him. They had to start an IV before and they used a numbing patch on the skin. No problem, but even if they didn't use it he would have been fine. They took him back and gave him the sedation in his IV. They used propofol. He wan't gone very long at all. They brought him back to recovery to wait for him to fully wake up. He was pretty groggy for a little bit, but otherwise was fine. Good luck. Make sure if you little one is going through all of this that they take at least 8-11 samples for a proper celiac biopsy.

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this, and what you’re describing is very real—even if other people can’t see it. Many kids and teens with celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions can have chronic joint and body pain, fatigue, and flares that come and go, which is exactly why it can look “fine one day and awful the next.” That doesn’t mean you’re faking anything. You deserve to be believed and supported, especially at school and at home. It may help to talk with a gastroenterologist or rheumatologist who understands autoimmune pain in teens, and to let a trusted adult help advocate for accommodations when you need them. Wanting to feel like a normal kid makes complete sense—and you’re not alone in feeling this way.

      Don't  let one bad apple spoil the bunch,. as they say. Many health care professionals are doing their jobs the best they can, so it's important to try to work with them in a respectful manner, if when they might be wrong about something.
