Three weeks ago Jeff broke his diet. He began eating flour, sugar, starches all the 'normie' foods. Oddly he had very little reaction. This change was in preparation for an endoscopy. Not much really went wrong, a little bloating and gas, but no pain or other reaction.
On Friday Jeff had the endoscopy, camera and light down the throat to look at the intestines and stomach. The result was very encouraging. overall the result was normal. The Gastroenterologist said that it looks better than expected, a normal healthy intestine. He is going to be reviewing the biopsies to see what it may be wrong.
It could be that Jeff never had Crohns, nor Celiacs, but just had a kink in his intestines originally. Since this part was cut out it may be that Jeff is healthy. As it stands Jeff is a medical mystery and the Doc's are going to be reviewing his case to see what is up.
There is the other option that Jeff had Crohns and was relieved by the Specific Carbohydrate Diet which was created in 1890 to cure Celiacs but then left behind in favor of Pharmacutical company based maintance which doesn't end the problem (healthy people don't buy meds).
Either way Jeff will probably return to the diet just to secure the change, but won't be quite as fanatic about it.
So Praise God for healing.
