As I've been going through this diagnosis process and paying much more attention to what I eat, my blood pressure has been going down. I'm 32 and was put on HBP meds last Oct when I went to the doctor for chronic headaches and light-headedness. My BP was 165/110 that visit. On my visit to the GI last Weds, my BP was 118/84. I am still on the meds and will...

I got my biopsy results back and everything on the inside was normal. Granted, I am still ill most of the time. I have blood and stool tests today and my GI recommended a gluten-free elimination diet. If the diet provides results, would it be beneficial, do you all think, that I push for a Celiac dx? -Still looking for answers, Heather

While not morbidly obese, I have been obese since Jr. High. No matter what I did, I could not lose weight. Even 2 hours at the gym, every day, made no impact. In the three months between my first appointment with a new OB and my first appointment with my new GI, I lost 13lbs. They were also the hardest three months on my body in terms of being sick.

I, apparently, slept right through this response and forgot I had even posted. Yay, Versed. I have a follow-up in the 19th with my GI and I'm hoping for an answer then. Since the colonoscopy prep gave me a nice, good cleaning out, I've been paying much more attention to what I eat and the effect it has on me. I wish I could say that there are foods that don...

How was the Borriello Brothers crust? I find as I'm waiting for my biopsy results I am doing my research and craving pizza. I've been terrified to eat it, even while I wait, due to some very rough stomach reactions in the past. But it doesn't stop the cravings.

Thanks. From my lurking, this seems a very friendly and helpful kind of place. I have ended up here several times in my research.

Hello all. I'm a lurker and this is my first post. I had an EGD and colonoscopy bright and early this morning. I'll be going back to sleep, again, shortly, but I wanted to ask a question. Does anyone here know what Erythematous duodenopathy means, exactly? The internet has actually been less than helpful and I'm kind of wondering what to expect from...
