I don't think I did! Monday I went back to the GI to get the biopsy results from the colon polyps and inflamed tummy lining.
It was very, shall I say, humbling for me to hear that "one of the polyps was completely benign but..." (BUT??!! I'm thinking??) "...the other was what we call precancerous. It has been completely removed but it is very good you came in and we did this now". Wow. Thanks for the problems, Lord! I get to get the lovely procedure done every 3 years, but I'll take that over the alternative.
On the tummy, there was no H. pylori bacteria so he is thinking my stomach is just "slow" just like the rest of my tract, and because it does not empty efficiently it produces too much acid thus irritating the lining and causing pain. He says it's probably been a chronic condition but the stress in my life over the last year just exascerbated it, not caused it. So he's got me on reglan to take a half hour before eating to try and help. I'm still leery of medicines but trying this to see if it helps or not. So far I do think it is helping, do not have the pain, bloating, and indigestion I was having after eating.
So things are looking up and I'm feeling pretty thankful these days! Still looks like we're basically dealing with IBS in the form of a "sluggish" system so the things I'm learning here are still very valid.
Thanks for the support through all this!
