Hey Ladies,

Results finally in!

Colonoscopy: Six polyps removed. ALL BENIGN! Yeah!
Endoscopy: Normal except for one spot bx'd. Shows some mild reflux. Of which I have no symptoms so no treatment needed. Double Yeah!

Next step: Tests for Non-tropical Sprue next week to be followed by repeat hemmocult in another week. Reason: Doc says that none of the polyps were bleeding and only one appeared to "perhaps have been hemorrhagic" at some point prior, so inconclusive whether the polyps were the cause of my iron loss. Guess they want to rule out any other causes of the anemia and be certain I'm not still losing blood. Beyond that, more blood work in about 3 months to determine whether the anemia is improving.

After researching Sprue, I gave it up. One intimidating condition! Seems that the necessary gluten-free diet is quite a beast to accomplish...made me tired just thinking about managing such a diet. LOL Seriously, it seems quite an undertaking and my heart goes out to anyone needing to deal with it.

Hope everyone has lovely weekend weather to enjoy.

Love, light and laughter,
Ink
