(no subject)
So I had the colonoscopy done on wednesday. The prep was a bitch on
tuesday, that laxative cleansing stuff tastes disgusting, even mixed
with soda. I got there around 8am on wednesday and got checked in, then
they made me take off my clothes and get in the bed, etc put in the iv.
Finally wheeled me into the room at 10am and got me setup. The nurse
asked if I minded if the other nurses observed the procedure, and I was
like "Well, im gonna be passed out, so no, go ahead, stare at my ugly
ass". The stuff kicked in quick and I passed out quickly, and I
remember having a dream about joe, but I dont remember what happened in
it. I woke up a bit later and they wheeled me back in and told me I had
to fart out all the air which I couldnt do because I dont like to let
out long farts in public.
All they found was internal hemroids, which doesnt really explain the extreme pain and bleeding I get even at the opening of my ass, so I have to get checked for celiac disease.
Celiac disease is an immune system disorder that results in damage to the lining of the small intestineClick here to see an illustration. when foods with gluten are eaten. Glutens are a form of protein found in some grains-notably wheat, barley, and rye. The damage to the intestine makes it hard for the body to absorb nutrients, especially fat, calcium, iron, and folate. Celiac disease also may be called celiac sprue, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, or nontropical sprue.
If I have it, it means I wont be able to eat anything I actually like, such as pizza, bread, etc. Which will suck.
The basics of a gluten-free diet include:1
* Avoiding all foods that contain wheat, rye, and barley gluten. Bread, bagels, pasta, pizza, malted breakfast cereals, and crackers are all examples of foods that contain gluten. While some foods are labeled wheat-free, this does not mean that they are gluten-free.
* Avoiding oats, at least initially. Oats may cause symptoms in some people, perhaps as a result of contamination with wheat, barley, or rye during processing. However, many people who have celiac disease can eat moderate amounts of oats without having symptoms.2 Health professionals vary in their long-term recommendations regarding eating foods with oats. However, most agree it is best that people newly diagnosed with celiac disease not eat oats until the condition is well controlled with a gluten-free diet. Then, up to 2 oz(56.7 g) of oats may be eaten daily as long as no new symptoms develop. You should eat only oats known not to be contaminated by wheat, barley, or rye during processing.3
* Avoiding or limiting milk products in the beginning of treatment if they cause or aggravate symptoms. Once symptoms improve and the small intestine heals (about 2 to 6 months), usually you can begin to gradually reintroduce milk products into your diet.
* Avoiding all beer products, alcoholic and nonalcoholic, including lagers, ales, and stouts.
* Reading ingredient labels carefully and being aware of types of hidden gluten, such as those found in medications and various food additives. Products whose labels have the phrase "modified food starch" may contain gluten.
Im also bored out of my mind, so im working on a new design for my website, since I really HATE green. Blue and pink == the win. Heres 15 minutes worth of work: http://visualblurb.info/work/newcwus2/
