  2. I had my endoscopy last fall, so it is just the colonscopy this time. I am a bit concerned about the timing,, I have to work the day before until 3;30 so I cant start the prep until I get home. I have a 2 hour drive the morning of to the hospital that is doing the procedure. It could be a long drive

  5. I am having a colonscopy done in a week or so. I am not happy about it but I have put it off for way to long. I am concerned because the bowel prep contains sodium, my DH is going to go nuts I have Gilbert's and some reduced renal function so the bowel prep and IV sedation are going to make me sick. I am trying to make sure I detox my body as much...

Thanks guys,, I May wait until the new homegrown crop comes in to try tomatoes and peppers.A week before my colonoscpy PROBABLY is NOT the best time to try reintroducing them I am not planing on reintroducing potatoes (I did react VERY strongly to potatoes )but reintroducing peppers and tomatoes would open up my menu options quite a bit

  14. I am AB+ blood type. I have not read the whole book. When I was at my WORST, food wise, I did get the book from the public library and read the food list for AB's. I can say that the food list made sense to me. There were many things (suggested) that AB's should avoid or consume and I found them to be true for me , to a point. I do not advocate any type...
  15. This I totally understand,, I am also angry and sad and soooo many other emotions , I am an emotional basket case right now ,,,, ((HUGS)) to you I would suggest talking to an endocrinologist about your thyroid, there is a strong connection between Hashimoto's and Celiac's

  21. ALWAYS,ALWAYS ALWAYS get copies of your test results
  22. The whole experience was NOT good ,not because he was an allergist but because he was a lousy doctor and his office was very poorly run.
