How could the food and drink that I have come to love so much be out to get me? I have recently been having some digestive issues and after going to see a gastroenterologist I have been scheduled for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. I know you’re probably thinking, lucky me right? A double dose of fun all at the same time. I’m also scheduled for a Hydrogen Breath Test on a different date. I hope the only thing the doctor discovers is that I am lactose intolerant after my tests. Funny, I thought this blog was going to be about my love of food not my aversion to it.
Colonoscopy, endoscopy…I can sympathize…I’ve had both – and survived – so you will be okay!
Hydrogen Breath Test? Wow, that’s a new one on me. Do tell.
Hope all tests go well and that the answers are like mine – just another pill or two. 🙂

A Hydrogen Breath Test is a check to see if you are lactose intolerant. Paperwork said the test can take up to 3 hours. Ugh. I will have to let you know what’s entailed once it’s done ’cause I’m not quite sure myself!

The breath test can also tell if you have an overgrowth of bacteria in our gut. Fingers crossed.

I recently had test to see if I had Celiac Disease and it came back negative, but I still think I might try to steer clear of gluten. Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂
