I'm new to all this and still awaiting Endosocopy results. I do have several of the symptoms and was found to be highly allergic to wheat bran about 6 years ago by blood test. In reading these responses to personal care products, I was thinking about all the drug patches they have these days for different medications. They get into your system through...

I had an Endoscopy/Colonoscopy yesterday morning. They put me in what they call "Twilight" which another person had mentioned here. I don't like being put all the way out either. They usually use Demoral and Verced, and they can awaken you easily. It was so fast and simple! I came out of it fine. They have you sit up fairly soon and give you something to...

Newbie here. Had my Endoscopy and Colonoscopy this morning. Truly the day before is much worse than the test itself! I was in and out before I knew it.

Would rather have something I can fix with diet, as opposed to something that requires medication. I've always had reactions to medications and don't take any on a regular basis right now. God knows what's best for me, and I will get through...

Hi, Newbie here. A few doctors have mentioned Celiac disease to me and I'll be having an Endoscopy and Colonoscopy in about 1 1/2 weeks. Since researching this website, I discovered that I do have a lot of the symptoms. I'm especially happy to see that there are people who have gained weight with it. The doctor also suspects Crohn's disease, which is usually...
