GERD was my problem, well still is! Not too bad an experience but I wouldn't want to repeat it in a hurry (excuse the pun)

coeliacs?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I had one before my coeliac diagnosis, it wasn't all that nice as it turns out, I didn't want sedation so I just got the local anaesthetic spray. I actually found that pretty unpleasant by itself as it messed up my swallow reflex, quite uncomfortable... But the scoping wasn't too bad at all.

Please can we call it GORD? It's only GERD if you're a stupid American who can't spell Oesophagus properly.
Also Nissen Fundoplication...

how long is this bloody sore throat supposed to last?

i had one, but they put the camera down the end of my penis! incredibly uncomfortable, especially the stinging gell they inject in the end.
They were in there for ages, and at one point inserted a metal claw down the inside of the tube to retrieve 'something interesting' from my bladder.

Why would they be examining your penis for gastric problems??? wtf?
Claw for biopsy I guess but your bladder isn't examined like the camera down your mouth like Mr Nutt. Your throat should be better in 3 days but take something for it even honey.I had a stomach bug last month and side effect was acid irritating my stomach and esophagus so I'm on PPI's for 4 bloody weeks to heal/wait and see or more weeks but I can't eat more one meal a day which sucks and riding is slow and if it doesn't go away I might have to have Mr Nutt's examination to see whats going on with that valve. with a camera down the gob.
Frigging sucks.Posted 1 year ago # -
Only twice with the metal claw, you're lucky, I had 'routine' biopsy's taken every 5 cm from the start to end of my colon
Hearing the doc saying open, close then watching the nurse yank the claw back like she's starting a lawnmower isn't something I want to do again in a hurry.Posted 1 year ago #
