Hello!
I am a relatively new listmember, and have learned much from you on this
list! It is suspected that I have celiac disease. My gastroenterologist just
did the bloodwork (no results back yet), and I have an intestinal biopsy
scheduled for this coming Monday (Nov. 16).
My question is this: Has anyone had a bad reaction to the biopsy? Did
you get worse afterwards or get new symptoms? Were they long-lasting?
I don't react well to many procedures. My g.p. had me do a barium
swallow for an upper G.I. and small intestine study, and I had what may have
been an allergic reaction to the barium, and am also still having intestinal
difficulties from it. That said, it makes me a little leary to have the
biopsy.
Any reactions?
Thanks,
Dina in Michigan
