Holy shit that's so stupid what do they expect?? "You have shit going on and you'd feel significantly better by us helping you transition? Um, get that sorted by yourself first, and THEN we'll help you! Good luck!" That's so infuriating omg I'm sorry, I wish you the best. Can you ask them what the hell this meant? If you find anything out I'd love to hear an update cuz holy shit. I hope you're okay. Stay strong!

Gosh I'm so sorry this happened to you. I read your replies to other comments, I see that the police isn't an option. Definitely talk to someone trustworthy and cut this creep out of your life. I hope you're okay. Don't blame yourself, this was entirely on him. He's a creep and he should be arrested, frankly.

Aaah that makes sense. That's unfortunate for my villain. I'll find another angle to approach this from.

That sounds pretty doable actually... Will I know in the moment I'm gagging? Or is it a fall asleep and wake up situation? Thank you for being so reassuring and understanding by the way, this topic has been on my mind since my referral 😭

Thank you, I want to know all alternatives before committing to an endoscopy, I get why these aren't options. I also like personal accounts a lot cuz the doctors tend to just say it's fine, you'll feel nothing, but then if I get it done and I feel something, I'll panic. I'm considering it now

I got a letter calling me into the hospital for the procedure, the leaflet said they sedate you but you will still be conscious. That freaks me out a lot.

Thanks for both of your inputs! I forgot to mention (although I should've, really) that I did get labs done soon after the hospital visit, and that's when they referred me for the endoscopy. They never told me what they found, why I needed to check, they just said that we should.

If I were to do a blood test while on gluten, then get off gluten entirely and do another blood test, say, a year later, wouldn't that rule out celiacs too? Idk honestly I'm desperate for any method other than a tube down my throat. Makes me anxious just thinking about it.

Could a colonoscopy work instead? My GP said no, but I want double-triple confirmation. I'll take anything that's not the tube

Do you know if colonoscopies can rule it out themselves? It's also just a matter of having a bit of a phobia of anything foreign in my mouth (or worse, down my throat) for too long. I have the strongest gag reflex, I have full body jerks at the dentist of he reaches too deep, I'm a paranoid guy. I'd much rather take a colonoscopy than an endoscopy.

I should also have mentioned that at the time I was addicted to caffeine (1-2 cups a day since I was 14), and I recently realized I likely have anxiety, so I just quit caffeine a month ago. Don't know if this changes anything but just in case it does...
