I am so glad all the actual testing is over and I can be gluten free. Took biopies and one in the stomach to look for bacteria. Also told I have a hiatal hernia and now get to do the lovely Upper GI seires and delayed gastric emptying tests. However they do not provent me from being GLUTEN FREE!!!!! :D I am so happy. Starting off easy so I don't mess up. Oranges for Breakfast and baked potato for lunch. ;) Now I just wait for the results of my many biopies out there.

Yay! Make sure you dont go to simple though roxie. Try to eat a varied gluten free diet. I know it is tempting not to eat different things when your tummy hurts. Good luck once again on your results ;)

YAY Roxie! Onward & upward from here on out.

Wow, you sure are feeling chipper aren't you? Your endo was today wasn't it? And you're already home & feeling like being on the computer! Good for you.

Now, don't go hog wild on gluten-free processed foods yet. Try to stick to whole foods as much as possible for about 3 months.

To take to work? How about a cold chicken leg, an apple & a hard boiled egg? The rest of the chicken was dinner the night before.

Glad your celiac related testing is over and you can now give the diet a good strict go. You may find your issues resolve before the other tests are even done but if not do make sure your doctors orders gluten free barium for the upper GI series. The liquid will be thin and not at all chalky. They mixed mine with cranberry juice. Compared to the regular gluten filled solutions drinking it was nothing and I didn't have to stop in the restroom in a hurry on my way out the door.

I hope you heal quickly.

Haha! I know how that is. Do you have access to a microwave so you can cook ahead of time and take it with you. I bought some glasslock containers that are freezable mkcrowavable and dishwasher safe! I take them with me to work and pop them in the microwave.

It was crazy there 2 hours to check in and prep for a 15 min procedure. lol Yes they put me out but not intubated. I had my IV in and in the room laying on my side. They put in a mouth gaurd (I am assuming to guide the tube down my throat). Then the I was told the medicine "may burn". Those are the last words I remember next second I was in recovery. I didn't even know they did anything. I looked around and I was in another room by myself and everyone was gone. lol

Lol yeah something like that. Im gonna make some potato salad tonight. Also one trick i learned with pastas, rice and things is to put a little water in it ( it will evaporate) and put a wet papertowel over it and steam it in the microwave. Every little bit helps.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
