Re: GI tests

[Guest guest]

Hi Zoey,

I had an upper GI series, and ultrasound and cat scan. My doc decided to do

them because I was getting nauseated often and having projectile vomiting on

occasion. Very difficult circumstances in which to work, let alone drive

home. It seemed to be triggered by sinus drainage for the most part so I

think the real problem was gluten and soy, both of which I'm allergic to. The

gall stone was small enough he decided to ignore it, and for my pancreas, he

suggested adding digestive enzymes. Anyway, I haven't been sick since I

started watching what I eat.

Elaine,

You mentioned below that you had a series of GI tests. Do you remember

which tests you had and why you had them? Thanks, Zoey

Drink as MUCH water as you can afterwards, to get all the barium at off your

system...

I too have had this test some time ago but when I did the H2O thing in excess

I felt a lot better then I would have if I hadnt forced myself to drink the

water..

Try and not eat alot afterwards and take clear fluids for a day or so.. This

helped me..

Good luck*

In addition to that I suggest anything that cleans the colon. I used water,

Homozon and colemas after mine. It worked.

I can vouch for that. My mom just had a colonoscopy about 2 wks. ago, and her

major complaint after was the gas.

Re: GI tests

...I had horrible gas after and

those medical people did nothing to warn me about the gas, and it is

terrible painful....

Hello lenny@...,

In reference to your comment:

è radiation from concentrating in the thyroid, where it

è usually settles.

I didnt think that this was radiation?

Did Lenny post a reply to my GI tests post? It didn't get through to me.

Hi ,

I don't post often here, as I don't think my DD has a PID, though I

am watching ever so closely (with Valarie's help!). :-) She was

revaccinated because of her lack of response to the prevnar vac.

Hopefully, a year later she still has the antibodies, but we haven't

tested for a long while.

Anyway, I don't know of any other non invasive tests. My DS who is

11, has an ultrasound, bloodwork, etc, that showed nothing. After

his complete scope in Oct (endocsopy and colonoscopy) he was found

to have eosinphilic esophagitis (EE) and eosinophilic colitis (EC).

(eosinophils in his esophagus and colon) Symptoms can vary greatly

as do treatments. Elimination diet helped to clear him (found via

another complete scope 3 weeks ago) and we are now trialing milk,

which I think he is failing .... I am not at all surprised, but I

let him choose what he wanted to trial first. He chose dairy

becasue he wanted cheese on his wheat free pizza really badly!

Don't know if this helps or not. Good luck to you!
