Hi all My middle daughter and I have been gluten-free for about a year now, and bentos are a lifesaver for us.

Hi everyone I am new to the board and wending my way through the celiac-testing-muddle. I am having the endoscopy late this afternoon and am debating whether or not to be 'knocked out' for it... I don't like how it feels to come out of anesthetic, but I'm worried this might be a painful thing to be 'awake' for. Have any of you had endoscopy without being...
