Needing A EGD(esophagogastroduidenoscopy)


I just got back from the doctors and I have to get a Endoscopy next week. They need to do a biopsy of the small intestine to determine that I have Celiac disease. Amazing enough he told me that sometimes the blood tests are positive, and they do a biopsy and it can come back negative for Celiac. Chances are though, I do have it because the pain has gone away with me being on the diet. I have felt much better. I have had an endoscopy before in New, York. It was when they were pioneering the procedure. I remember that I was gagging and burping and so embarrassed. I told the doctor today and he said that is what you are suppose to do, because they are pumping air inside your stomach. So I will have it done next week and hopefully I will have the results soon. I am feeling really good now. I contribute it to the diet that I am on. The bloating and gas is almost gone. Anyway, nothing else to report. I still haven't found out about the job at ebay. I feel guilty about applying for the job now, my boss is so nice to me. I guess if I don't get that job, I won't worry about it right now. I don't know?? I always go back and forth. Oh well. I am going to work and I have to get the kids all settled. I will write more later.

This does not sound fun. Does it hurt?

Don't worry about the new job, if it's meant to be, it'll happen. In the meantime, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
