bellaboo Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Anyone had an edoscopy before or seen a dietician im worried bout both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundy117 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Endoscopy is from below i believe which i have had twice. First time i had no memory of it at all. Second time i got taken into theatre before injection to knock me out and dont remmember anything. I got given powder to make a drink up to empty me out totally so camera could see about clearly. Had to get up early to take the drink every so often as it said on the instructions. Then spent rest of morning on loo before going to the endoscopy. There was no pain when i woke up again from it. Cos your knocked out you need to have someone to take you home and be there to keep an eye on you for then next 24 hours i think. Nothing to worry about.

amyxx Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 No from belows a colonosopy, endoscopys down your throat, they offer youu either a local or generral anestetic so if your realy nervous you can be sleeping during it. I took the local one and it just numbed my throat... It was uncomfortable and awkward but very quick and painless... I was in and out the hospital in about 20 mins xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Data Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I had an endoscopy with a spray to numb my throat a bit. It is uncomfortable and anxiety-provoking but its a short procedure. If you have high anxiety levels, then they might agree to give you a sedative during the procedure, you should discuss this with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jades Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 well i had an endoscopy and a colonistamy at the same time so i could be knocked out. i'm guessing ur having it cause of bulimia? have reflux problems? mine test led to having to drink barium and having an x ray found i had a hyatal hernia that floats, meaning my stomach is further up than it should be cause of throwing up. it's worked out ok after a couple years of refraining purging but just goes to show how much ur doing and don't know it but none of the tests were scary but the endoscopy i'd try to see if u can be sedated but keep in mind they need to know if ur purging and starving cause ur being sedated. tc hope it help xxxx :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellaboo Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks jade thats helpful bit worried bout telling them bout stuff sure it be fine. How did you get on with dietician i worried bout changing what and how much i eat but got loads of tummy troubles. I get really loads of gas all the time everyday it hurts and is not a great situation stops me doing stuff and advice on how to stop this its worse the longer my stomachs empty but then worse after eating too cant really win still living on rice cakes but i would happily do that forevor if i didnt have all these stomach and bowel problems app its my diet causing it im not to sure. Had referal.for endoscopy but doesnt guarentee me one but i have lots of pain im on tablets for it but doesnt work great. Hope your well thanks again for your useful words as always xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleweed71 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 try not to eat large meals/binge hun. little and often was what my specialist said when i was referred for ibs. i had both an endoscopy (with sedation) and a colonoscopy as well as a barium meal. you need to include fresh fruit and veg but be careful, too much will make you sore from trapped wind. the dietician will help you formulate a diet that will work for you. my ibs was caused by stress and an intolerance to tomatoes, specifically lycopene which is contained in the skins, but everybody is different. hugs and reassurance nic xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellaboo Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Yeah i never eat big meals not even at xmas dont really eat meals just graze on bits. Sometines i give up and dont eat but think that makes it worse i dont have gluten or dairy. I wanted to have all those tests done but gp refuses to let me but maybe dieotian will help she cant change my head but might give me things to help with constipation and gas etc... I feel like ive tried everything but then i keep hitting brick wall as the ed restriction comes back. I try have bit of fruit and veg but like you say it can irritate. I get irratable bladder too for some reason. It seems like everyone has had tests and investigations but i get refused its been 5 yr and only just got referal for endoscopy did you go private. Hope ya good take care x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
