ARCHIVED Soaps, Shampoo, And Other Personal Care Products
Craftycat replied to radgirl's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Experience Of A Biopsy
Craftycat replied to person011's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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... -
ARCHIVED Newbie- Had Endoscopy/colonoscopy This Am
Craftycat posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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. Doctor said Colonoscopy appeared normal, but said they go ahead and take biopsies regardless of how things look. He said I had moderately severe gastritis. He took biopsies for Celiac as well as the rest... -

ARCHIVED 1 1/2 Weeks Away From Testing
Craftycat replied to Craftycat's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Thanks for the information and suggestions. I did wonder if anyone with Celiac had the pain in the right side. Someone else was telling me awhile back about the book "Dangerous Grains". I will take your advice a get a copy. I've been lactose intolerant and was off of dairy etc. for several years. Just added it back the last couple of years and seem to be... -
ARCHIVED 1 1/2 Weeks Away From Testing
Craftycat replied to Craftycat's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Appreciate your prayers. I'm just praying this will be an answer to my health issues and I can start to feel better soon. 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... -
ARCHIVED 1 1/2 Weeks Away From Testing
Craftycat posted a topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
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...
