Gi Consult In 2 Days And Need Some Advice.

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I have my GI consult in 2 days. (I have to admit I am getting pretty excited as I have been waiting nearly 5 weeks).

Do any of you have any advice/suggestions re questions I should specifically ask? I am not quite sure what to expect other than knowing I will NOT be getting my bx the same day.

Do the GI docs even really care to hear of the other symptoms or are they just focused on performing a scope/bx and then sending you on your way?

My labs taken 5 weeks ago:

Tissue Transg IGA--<1.2 Normal <4 neg

Retculin ABS--Negative

Endomysial IGA--Negative

Deamidated Giladin IGG--<10 Normal <20 neg

Deamidated Giladin IGA--*88.9 Normal >30 is positive

I do have several s/s with most prominent being: constant heartburn, joint/muscle pain, headaches, fatigue, edema, alt diarrhea and constipation, bloating/stomach pain, hormonal imbalances, and frequent rashes.

I would just like to make the most of my visit!!

Thanks you for your time and advice!!!

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
