My Messed Up Intestines!


I have been seeing the doctor about some stomach/ intestinal problems I have been having for years and years - well, today i had an endoscopy. They sprayed some stuff on the back of my throat to kill the gag reflex and then they put me to sleep. It was great!!! I didn't know anything was happening and they stuck a tube down my throat and took some pictures of my esophagus, stomach, and the first part of my small intestine. The pictures showed up normal. They took a specimen off my intestine to check for celiac disease which I will find out about later. They have also decided too have be do another catscan as two other radiologists read my previous catscan and are concerned that their might truly be some inflammation that my doc wasn't sure was really inflammation and not just healthy standing up villa!! Anyway, they gave me some pics of my insides and just knew you all would love to see them - so enjoy. One of them is my vocal cords, esophagus, stomach, and part of small intestine... All for now.
