You'll need an endoscopy and/or blood test to detect celiac. They'll do biopsies and look for damage. Pretty sure they cannot see celiac with a colonoscopy.

The doctor doesn't know that I can't eat or drink. But they fit me in as soon as they could. I haven't been able to eat anything since Saturday. That was the last real meal I had, and it was gluten free pizza. I paid for it so bad afterwards too. The pain was terrible. Since Saturday I've had one banana, a few bites of rice here and there and yesterday just...

Got my insurance back today! Good thing too. Got my gastro appointment scheduled for Thursday. The biopsy from my endoscopy three weeks ago came back abnormal. No signs of celiac (no shocker there, I've been on a gluten free diet for so long now). I have a hiatal hernia though. I wonder if he'll put me on a gluten challenge now or just do the colonoscopy...

The only meds I got was the one that made me sleep during the procedure and then liquid gas meds for after. I had terrible gas pains after the procedure that the gas drops did not help. I've been thinking of seeing an allergist to help and find what foods are bothering me because it seems to vary. Some foods just give me headaches, some make my stomach feel...

No, but the er doc I saw said that I should try it. I think it's a good idea. I have a problem with eating large meals. (Larger than a few bites at a time) I've had a huge loss of appetite recently, more so after I had the endoscopy. Maybe I will start tomorrow and see how it goes.

The problem is, is that after being gluten free for over a year I started having symptoms unrelated to eating gluten. I know when I've been glutened because it hurts in my stomach. Now I have really bad pains in my lower abdominal area and other unpleasant symptoms. My GI doc did the endoscopy to check to see if there was any damage but I told him I have...

I saw the ER doc last night after calling my Mom crying that I had an "accident" for the first time. Boy, I am still embaressed about that. She insisted that I go to the hospital because of my other symptoms and that my insurance is giving me a hard time and I'm in the process of getting it reinstated. So...that means that I can't see the GI right now. I...

It really depends on the person and the food. There have been times that I knew right after I ate that I was glutened because I would break out in a sweat, feel like passing out, and having to run to the bathroom. Other times it has taken a couple hours and sometimes the symptoms are more severe and they vary anything from a migraine to feeling like my stomach...

I would ask your doctor about an endoscopy. Have they told you why they haven't done one yet to rule out celiac?

Everything went great. I even got pictures. The doc didn't talk much to me afterwards because I was pretty out of it. All I remember is him saying that everything looked normal except I had some sort of something that isn't working correctly. Maybe some sort of valve that isn't closing like it's supposed to or something. I wish I wasn't out of it so I...

That sounds like I lot of what I went through at his age but had no idea what was causing it. I was really spacey, like being in a constant brain fog. I had insomnia and I also had periods of sleep walking and talking. I remember a time when I was in a treatment center for severe depression when I was about 13-14 and I had the worst case of sleep walking...

My first endoscopy is tomorrow morning. My GI doc wants one even though I have been gluten free for over a year. I've had new symptoms I have never had before that seem to be unrelated to celiac. I'm a little nervous, I think just because any medical procedure when they put you to sleep is a little nerve wracking. One part of me hopes he finds something...

I think I know what kind you are talking about. All the gluten free bread that is premade taste like crap too me. It tastes terrible and it's too expensive. However, I made "Gluten Free Pantry Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix" in my bread machine and it was really good! It came out moist and soft, just perfect for sandwiches. This is the only gluten free bread...

If you have to, see another doctor. They should know you need to be eating gluten in order to see damage from having celiac disease. They shouldn't completely rule it out because of the results of your endoscopy after being gluten free for three years. I just saw a new GI and I am having my endoscopy this upcoming Tuesday. However, I have been gluten free...

I am so surprised how uninformed some doctors are. I saw a new pcp and she ordered a celiac blood panel and I haven't been eating gluten for over a year. I told her they wouldn't find anything because I need to be eating gluten.....yet she still ordered the test. I was pretty confused about that and I had to tell her about how the blood test worked.
