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.

      @Jmartes71, Have you tried a naturopathic or holistic doctor? Some posters in the past have commented theirs were more helpful than mainstream doctors.

      @HectorConvector, Have you tried taking 500 mg of the Thiamine Mononitrate that you have left? Thiamine Mononitrate may not be as helpful as other forms of thiamine, but since that's what you have on hand. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even at high doses needed to correct thiamine deficiency. No harm in trying it. Neuroplastic...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

Neuroplastic changes in the brain may be caused by thiamine deficiency.   These changes can be seen in Wernicke's encephalopathy and Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I googled "Neuroplastic Sensitization syndrome and thiamine pubmed" and see for yourself what it says.   Try taking 500 mg Thiamine Mononitrate and look for health changes.

I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I know lol)  and supplied it with all the clinical evidence I've had from tests etc.... After hours of "discussing" with it and finding research it "concluded" it's a chronic neuroplastic sensitization syndrome but of course said I should only get a proper diagnosis from a  doctor. When I saw the doctor on 9th February because this got worse he looked through all my medical history and the course of the "condition". I didn't tell him I'd used ChatGPT or mention what I thought it is because I still don't really know until I have a formal diagnosis. He came with the same conclusion as ChatGPT. Just thought it was an interesting co-incidence perhaps. As for myself, I'm not forming any conclusions til I can really know exactly what's happening and why and what stops it. Only then can I truly know.

I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown the medication max dose even though there is nothing physically wrong with my body. A bit earlier I had violent shocking evil burning nerve pain that made me nearly pass out and want to die again, also noticed this seems to be associated with sudden water retention. I've made hardly any pee in nearly 12 hours and despite drinking loads. Mouth is super dry. I am getting the "correct" sort of this when I've finished the current ones, so not long now. Can only get it on the internet here. Then I can say how it might change anything.
