Just wanted to give an update post-surgery. I had my upper endoscopy of my GI yesterday. Celiac disease was ruled out, although, the doctor said I might actually be developing a slight wheat allergy. Hence, that would be the cause of symptoms mimicing some of the celiac. I am very pleased with that answer.  However, my lower esophagus was inflammed and irritated, so the physician did a biopsy of it. Also, it was discovered that I have a hiatal hernia in my lower/side of my stomach along with the lining being flaky. Hence, why I am not breaking down foodstuffs or why somethings make me ill after taking them, since my stomach is not able to do what it is supposed to. I am pretty pleased with the results, but don’t actually go in for my follow-up visit until next week. Until then, ttfn!
