Post treatment report

Since my treatment I’ve had two motorcycle and one camping trip, so haven’t found a moment to get back to you all yet.

My treatment all went very well. As the week progressed my motions improved, becoming more solid. The frequency went between zero to three or four. Since the end of my treatment four weeks ago my stools have been mostly well formed, frequency is 1 to 3 times a day, with minimal urgency. Though there have probably been about three periods were my stools have softened. For one of those, the Saturday two weeks after, it became close to diarrhea and I had a fair bit of urgency. So I took a couple of immodium pills and it settled quickly by the next day.

With all my travels I have found it a bit hard making sure I regularly eat good wholesome foods, so I think that has probably not helped. Back on the straight and narrow now.

Tuesday last week I had a panendoscopy to determine if I had celiac disease. Luckily the examination seemed to show that all is ok, but I’m awaiting confimation from the biopsy tests.

Even if I don’t suffer from Celiac I still find wheat a problem in that it activates my sinuses. So I’m trying to keep away from it now, sticking mainly to meat, vegetables and fruit. In the past I have felt my best on meat and veges.

In the last week I began taking some probiotics. I now find myself experiencing a fair bit of gas, so I’m not sure if this is related. I might have a break from the probiotics to see if the gas reduces.

Cheers, Carl :-)
