Andrea Biopsy Update

Andrea had her procedure today. Everything went well and there were no complications. Dr. Al-Tawil found Lymphonodular Hyperplasia in the descending colon, cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, sigmoid colon and rectum. We will not have the biopsy results for 2 weeks. We have an appointment to discuss the results on 2-12.

We are now continuing the STRICT Gluten Free diet. Dr. Al-Tawil warned us that not doing so could lead to more significant health problems such as Lymphoma and Cancer.
We are home now and Andrea is eating well and resting.

We have an appointment with the nutritionist on Tuesday.

I would love any thoughts on this as my mind is spinning and we are sleep deprived from the bowel prep, long drive and early morning!

We didn't do the biopsy so I'm not sure what any of that stuff means. But I just wanted to give you (((hugs))) for surviving that and to say I'm glad she's doing well!

Have you considered making your house gluten-free or how you're going to prevent cross contamination (if the house isn't gluten-free?)? And you really do have to be insanely careful or you'll end up with a pretty sick little one. My DD started having much more severe reactions to even the teeniest crumb once she was off gluten.
