I couldn't wait until June 23 for the results of the colonoscopy biopsies, so I called the Doc's office today. Turns out the biopsies all came back normal, so that's good. I think it means my intestines are healing, though they sure have been taking...
While results of the biopsies from today’s colonscopy won’t be in for a couple of weeks, the doctor said that the ileum looked better than what he saw in January. So, that’s good news for now. We’ll see what the biopsy results have to say....
Went to the follow-up appointment with the GI doc this afternoon. Since the nausea meds I've tried haven't been effective, and there are still other various symptoms taking place (down 59 pounds now), we are doing another colonoscopy to see how the...
Just wanted to give a quick shout out here to our Building Permit bring issued today!! Construction will begin on June 1 and we anticipate moving back to the Sanctuary in mid-August! It's been a long haul the last few months between my health issues and...

Had a follow-up with my regular doc on Monday. Saw him back on the 15th to check out the odd white coating on my tongue. A couple people had asked if I had been checked for candida (a yeast in your body that...
So, yesterday (Thursday), I go see my regular doc. I'm on the Reglan the GI doc put me on, no idfference yet, but friends are saying, "have you had anyone check for a candida fungal infection?" Nope, says I. Whatever. It can't hurt to ask,...
Got back at about 5:00 pm from my GI doc appt. The capsule endoscopy shows that there is ileitis involved in my diagnosis, but does NOT find it consistent with Crohn's Disease. So, he believes that I most likely do NOT have Crohn's, but am...
The long-awaited results of the camera endoscopy done back on March 16 were supposed to be revealed today at a 2:45 doctor's appointment. However, the doctor's office called twice today, and the appointment has now been changed to tomorrow at 3:45, due to emergencies he...
