Hi All, I am just here to report that my double procedure went well yesterday. I passed out and don't remember a darn thing, so that's great! They said everything looked good and he removed a couple polyps from both the upper and lower, so I await any news on those (but he didn't have reason for concern). Now that I am clear on Celiac we are onto some...

Thanks Richard....... I appreciate the feedback!

It turns out that my doctor is adding an endoscopy to my colonoscopy tomorrow. I am wondering if this means I will be there for twice as long, and if there are any other things I need to know for this. I am doing both at the same appointment. Richard or anyone, what can you tell me? Thanks, Cori

I don't officially know...

Hi All, I had my blood drawn today to test for the antibodies associated with celiac disease, and am also scheduled for a colonoscopy next week. My symptoms have been unexplained weight loss, hair loss, irritability, pain on my right abdomen and under my ribs, weakness, paleness, looking awful (I could go on and on)... and anyway, all my blood work...
