How were most of you diagnosed? Wondering how it is confirmed with such unreliable tests
With the antibody test being so unreliable. How is Pernicios anemia usually diagnosed? Is it usually an endoscope? Wondering how they can absolutely confirm it with such unreliable tests? Thank you!

Omeprazole and hypo symptoms
I ended up going for an
endoscopy
and they diagnosed Oesophagitis and hiatus hernia. I take two x 20 omeprazoles a day but recently I’ve been experiencing heart palpitations and symptoms of hypo. I got a blood test and the results show my TSH is 4.8.

Intestine resection surgery
Recently I had an
endoscopy
and a colonoscopy. There were no signs of Crohn’s or colitis. Still I have symptoms of Crohn’s. Because of the shorting of the intestinal tract I have persistent diarrhea. Imodium AD helps with diarrhea.

Told it is not GCA
She already has me going for
endoscopy
for my swallowing and other esophageal symptoms... he said my jaw should not hurt unless I am chewing. Well it aches or hurts a lot when not chewing. I have an appt this Friday so I will see what she has to say.... I am so weary of this.

New to the site and navigating confusing symptoms from teh USA
He ordered an

Small Update about Blood Tests
But can someone tell me if there is any other way of detecting varices instead
endoscopy
? He just doesn't want to go through that! And CT Scan, they inject dye which is not good for his already weak kidney.

Functional gastrointestinal disorder
I suffer from right side around the rib IBS, in the last year I have had, CTs, MRI, colonoscopy and
endoscopy
, and 10s of blood tests, and all they found was a 1cm hitel hernia... The wrong Food, fizzy, alcohol and stress appear my enemy.

Cirrhosis, Diabetes now Pancreas
Within the next two weeks I have to have an
endoscopy
and a MRI of my Pancreas. I am getting to the end of my tether with it all. More waiting and worrying.

Wish I could eat
I am a newby. I had Nissen fundoplication surgery to correct hiatal hernia and reflux. That occurred in mid July. I am having problems eating the most recent of which is that i will start to eat and then have to spit up phlegm, lots of it. Afterward, I can often continue to eat with no problem. I

Need to vent
So have just received results back from a home bowel screen , blood has been detected, I'm so angry because 3 months back specialist at hospital was investigating polyps in my gallbladder and recommended
endoscopy
and colonoscopy, my doctor put referal through but only for
endoscopy
???

Overmedicated?
I've had a negative nerve conduction test by neurology, a full blood workup by a hematologist, a colonoscopy,
endoscopy
, chest x-ray for sarcoids, I had my throat scoped by ENT. Just the typical runaround.

Diagnosis Query
She’s just had the
endoscopy
done and the doctor apparently said he couldn’t see any sign of CD. Biopsy results won’t be available for 8 weeks though. Can you have antibodies and no CD? What does this mean?

Diverticulitis - what exactly is it
Many years ago I was told I had several diverticulae, through an internal scan (
endoscopy
or colonoscopy maybe?).

More recently I've discovered, after severe gallbladder problems and an
endoscopy
that I have a dairy allergy and struggle to digest meat. Bizarrely after discontinuing both meat and particularly dairy my stomach issues have completely disappeared.
