Thank you SO MUCH!!! (((hugs))) I think we should BOTH get this testing done! I had an upper endoscopy once actually a few years ago...I think I was 19...and they were looking for an ulcer. Does this mean they automatically checked for celiac as well and I can now rest at ease knowing I don't have it? (Because the testing was so long ago...my files are probably in a basement somewhere) I wasn't showing sympoms for celiac at the time, just ulcer/acid reflux stuff. In any case, it probably won't hurt to have the endoscopy done again. It really wasn't so bad. In fact, I don't remember any prep. for it at all (I don't think I could eat after midnight the night before and the morning of and that was it)! They used an anesthetic...but it was hardly needed! (My mom had one done and she is allergic to many meds...so she was adamant about not having anesthesia...and she was fine without)!
Anyway, I'm def. considering doing it again if it will tell me whether or not I have celaic!!! I'll let you know what I decide. Do you think you'll go through with it? I thikn it's well worth it if it's just an upper endoscopy!
