thanks all. do they automatically look for celiac when they do the scope?? I know they said I had small polups in the stomach, but don't know if they tested for Celiac. I need to call my Dr. and have...
I did have the upper scope, but don't think they did any biopsies, I know they did one on the colon part. I could not believe the symptoms, that are just like mine. The article said most Doctors will...

Adee, It is nice to know I am not alone with this weight issue. my eating is very limited, it seems after I do eat, then the pains start again. I also need to quit smoking.....I know it irritates the...
larry, No, I did not see the post about Bell. My computer has been acting up, so I probably did not get the notification email. Small world isn't it? Bell was a very demanding customer, but I liked...
larry, the med for my stomach is supposed to stop cramping, but it has nasty side effects, I did not take it at all today. thought I would wait till Saturday and try taking a zanax and see how I...
Kit,Thanks for the info. I hope it is that fast. I guess we get the results fairly quickly? Thank you for always being here. how are things going with you?????...
thanks Larry, My normal weight is around 107-110. I was not alarmed at first because I was at 113. But now I am afraid to know what I weigh One of the gals on the anxiety board said she had lost 28...
Kit, Mine is W/O contrast, just the barium junk. ok, is the 16 min the time on the table or the whole thing?...
Syl, I had to take the zanax for quite sometime, little tiny pieces. But they helped get through the day back then. Dr. has me on Bentyl for the stomach, so I am afraid to mix the 2. The Bentyl...
Syl, Thanks for sharing your story with me. Mine started last December. We had moved away and that was a mistake. I had been laid off from my job, so I thought moving to another area where housing...
after reading this thread, I wonder if my weight loss and stomach issues are all stress related? My mind is worrying each and everyday about the weight loss, and I know it makes it worseHave any of...
Thanks for your quick reply. I had anxiety really bad a few years ago when my hubby passed. I lost weight then, but never this much! I won't look at myself anymore due to the weight loss. All the...
also, have any of you dropped too much weight just from anxiety / depression, etc.?...
Guys,I have to have a CT scan next week and am nervous as H---- about it. I know I have to drink the barium stuff before the test. I am having this test to rule out anything horrible that might be...
Everyone, I have to have that abdominal CT scan done next Tuesday. Could you guys tell me if they allowed your spouse in the room with you? I am very nervous about the whole thing. It would help a...

Sew, it is good isn't it? I need to make some more. The tea bags are really handy and not so messy. I am so confused at this point. I have been taking that Bentyl stuff, not everyday, but off and on....

Hi Sewfun, good to hear from you. Yes, I have thought of the PPI's but still haven't given in. Dr. is so convinced this is a nervous, anxiety thing. I actually had a pretty good day today, and have...
Well, the patch was not successful. ;(It just smelled and made me nauseated. Left it on for 3 hours, and finally removed it. I have spent the morning on line trying to find a naturopathic doctor who...
T, I took zantac when they said I had gastritis, but it did nothing for me, so quit taking it. I don't think it has any rebound though. The PPI's do, I also refused to take those. Maybe I should have...
Dean, I remembered today that I used to get Salonpas patches for my Mom who had RA really bad, they did help her a lot........since they do not pass through the stomach, I called my pharmacy expert...

Hi Viv, good to hear from you. I know I post too much and probably repeat myself too. I am sorry you have to go back on PPI's, but if they removed the awful symptoms, maybe you should? I know I have...
