  1. I think in my case, it was because I reacted so violently to my first endoscopy/ colonscopy (ended up throwing up after the anasthesia, and almost always do). I made them aware that I was allergic to Demoral (?) and ended up getting a lower dosage (even though I still vomited after my endoscopy). I wasn't tested for celiac disease either time, and didn't...
  2. yes, stress can definitely affect your digestive tract. I'm really sorry about the loss of your father *hugs*
  3. I have had a bad experience with an endoscopy too, Miss Marie. I was barely sedated, and aware of everything, when they pushed an the endoscope down my throat and into my stomach. It really hurt, and was scary. Luckily, though, I went out within thirty seconds, it was not nearly as terrifying as yours was, but still memorable for me. I'm really sorry you...

  7. Hey Marcus, I definitely don't fit the profile of a celiac, and have been told that I had IBS for years, and I was just crazy LOL. The doctor I went to yesterday seemed like a long line of professionals who just don't really care about their patients. I really get tired of going to see these "medical professionals", and I used that term loosely, only...
  8. That's what I'm afraid of, that he doesn't know what he's doing.
  9. I really need some advice regarding testing. I got up the courage to be tested for Celiac Disease. I'm not sure that I have it, to be honest. Up until I year ago, I never suspected that I could have an intolerance to wheat. Doctors had always diagnosed me as having IBS, and tried to convince me that my severe digestive symptooms (the extreme gas, bloating...
