Did they take a biopsy when they dis the endoscopy? That will confirm, having a helicobactor test might be wise too.
It's an auto immune condition and can crop up at any time so don't worry, it will mean a complete diet overhaul though you'll be surprised where the pesky gluten crops up. There are lots of information sites and forums for info so don't worry.
I have really bad acid reflux and was on omeprazole now something else, I had helicobactor which was treated an had an endoscopy last fri with biopsy...  |
Yup that's it! Us and our kissable mouths eh lol. Yeah don't feel my usual self like sleeping more which is odd as im the biggest insomniac ever.
Yeah they took biopsies from below and above it was not a pleasant experience! See ive allways been told multi vitamins are bad even by the gp theres so much conflicting information.
Think you've got it bang on though with everything you're describing, even if it is this and I have to change my diet atleast I know what it is finally.
Did you get sedated for the endoscopy? I just had the mouth spray which literally made me feel like I had a 12 foot long tongue. Is this like a lifelong diagnosis though or can it go away seeing as fast as its come on?
