I'm In BC. They are booking me in for a colonoscopy but am told the wait is a long time. So in the mean time I'll change my diet and if after all that nothing I will visit a homeopathic place.As I cannot live with this long term, surprised I haven't fainted yet!

Stress and upset really affects my tummiescwell being, I've had stomach pain all week, I start a new job on Tuesday.

Nooo. Homeopathy is utter, utter rubbish. Nothing has ever been proven to work. At best a waste of money, worst it will delay getting a real diagnosis.

If you want an accurate diagnosis for coeliac disease then do not give up gluten long term, try it to see if it helps but if you go off it then a biopsy will be a waste of time. Have you had the blood test for antibodies yet? Were the food intolerance tests you had coventional medicine or quacks?

Maybe lactose intolerance?

My wife has it but when we travel in the UK it really isn't an issue. Maybe some difference in the way milk products are processed?

To be fair, at best it will have a placebo effect.

Which means you turn into an androgynous rock star.

True, I underestimated the power of the mind.

I once knew a guy who had fish and chips every day for a year. His stomach took a battering.

Not at all. You merely underestimated the gullibility of the punters.

Colonoscopy as first port of call seems a little drastic to me, in my opinion
As has been mentioned a full blood panel would be prudent

All kinds of nutritional deficiencies can cause gastro intestinal issues, conversely gastro intestinal issues can cause all kinds of nutritional deficiencies

Oink

Have you had any decent accidents went out?

chrissyb

seeing as I am baring all on the net I have no need holding back. However Oink I am sorry to tell you I have had some very close encounters but nothing exciting enough to amuse you!

I have nothing constructive to add, but these may be worth a try just to be on the safe side.
