I met with my GI on Friday, October 14th to obtain my biopsy results. Everything was completely normal! The procedure was annoying and time-consuming, but at least I can sleep peacefully knowing certain illnesses/problems have been ruled out. Luckily, the bleeding hasn’t happened since early September so the GI said, unless it happens again, not to worry about it.
While in her office, I explained some other stomach issues I had been having and she said it could be one of two things: a problem with my pancreas or a bacterial infection in my small intestine. She ran some tests and discovered that my pancreatic enzyme levels were completely normal – thank goodness! Today she started me on a two-week, three-times-a-day antibiotic to clear up the infection. Hopefully the antibiotic does the trick!
