First week of the gluten eating done! It's been difficult and I've nearly given up a few times but hanging in there so far. The doc rang me from the hospital yesterday and talked me through why I'm...
Thankyou /community/emoticons/smile.gif I'm now on here in my lunch break because I'm having such a bad day and trying to hang in there at work. My stomach has turned to water and I feel as though...
Thanks for your reply. Yes I believe he is a good doc and after 52 years of bad health and being labelled hypochondriac, neurotic etc., etc., is is so great to meet someone like him. I feel very...
Hi everyone, Just want to share this. After a normal endoscopy in December I gave up wheat and dairy just before Christmas (I won't go into detail as it's all in a previous post I did). I was feeling...
What a nice message; thankyou for responding. I only have just over a week to go until I go for my follow up so will keep you posted....
I just wanted to ask if anyone had any experience like I feel as I'm a bit confused. After being sickly all my life I was suddenly very unwell last August. After numerous tests I eventually had an...
Hi, I had to 'swallow the camera' last week and I insisted on the sedation because I was so scared. Well, having had it done all I can say is - don't be scared; agreed, it isn't the most pleasant...
Hi, I had an endoscopy a week ago today and today is the first day that I've felt reasonably comfortable. My endoscopy came back 'all normal' and I don't even know yet if they took any biopsies but...
Hi everyone, Thankyou for responding; I do feel a bit less weepy today. I've re-read my discharge form and there isn't anything on there to say that they've taken any samples for biopsy so not sure...
Hi, I had my endoscopy yesterday and they found nothing. That is obviously very good news but now what do I do? The symptoms are still there but with no obvious reason. Also, has anyone been weepy...
I hope it went well for you yesterday and that you have good results. I'm just getting ready to go in for mine - then I can get back on that slippery elm!...
Hi, I'd be interested in trying this but not sure where I'd buy it - I'm in UK. I have been trying slippery elm for about a month and didn't realise how good it was until I came off of it. Jenny....
Hi all, I came on here a couple of weeks ago feeling desperately worried and got some really positive support - thanks to all for that. Well tomorrow I'm going in for my endoscope (bit nervous) and I...
Hi, thankyou for your comments; as it turned out I had a good, almost symptom free day yesterday and even managed a relaxing evening at a friends house. My appointment for the endoscopy also came...
Morning all, I need a quick vent!! I'm feeling very low and depressed today - after 2 good days everything came back full force yesterday - and it was my twins 29th burthday and they all had a...
Hi Bill, thanks for the response - it all helps with the anxious thoughts. I have to confess I've already been down the google route - mainly through feeling so isolated and not taken seriously; I...
Hi, I gave up chocolate due to indigestion and migraine about 4 years ago and I used to buy 'just so' carob bars. They are lovely and never caused me a problem. I don't buy them anymore because I...
Thankyou for your quick response - I didn't think I'd get any that quick! I know you're right in what you say and I get cross with myself for the silly thoughts but it is good to hear someone else...
Hi, I'm newly joined to this site although I have been reading posts for a couple of months. I'm hoping to gain some support and share some things that just may help someone else. My problems began...
