Re: Celiac AND IBS anyone GEA       04/27/03 11:29 PM Edit Reply Quote susaloh Reged: 02/02/03 Posts: 96 Loc: Kiel, Germany Hi Ruchie! I found the gastroscopy far far less stressful than the colonoscopy. Actually, it was a matter of minutes and I would have it done every day if need be. Maybe it was because they did NOT give me proper anastethics? I know that in the States people get a lot of anastethics and are terribly afraid of doing treatments without (don't lots of women ask for C sections because they fear the pain of childbirth or is that a myth?) Well, anyway, they sprayed two different local anastethics into my throat. Then I had to bite onto this plastic ring through which they introduced the tube. And then down went the tube (they had warned me that I might have to gag a bit but I only had a mild urge to cough) and then it took less than 60 secs or so to take the samples. It felt slightly weird but not scary or painful. Out went the tube and I went home for breakfast. The only thing I felt afterwards was a lot of gas both in my stomach and in my bowels. I think they pumped some in to have a better look. Even if where you are they do insist on knocking you out for the procedure, I'm pretty sure you won't have to go through the prep part (laxative etc) as for the colonoscopy. If you want to rule out celiac, you should get the gastroscopy, if not you will worry forever about i.e. the tiniest bit of wheat in your soy sauce!!
