Make sure that some sort of anesthesia is used. I had assumed that was a given, but my daughter says she had an endoscopy while fully awake. Understandably, she found it quite unpleasant. I've had two endoscopies, once with a colonoscopy, and both times I was pretty much unaware of what was happening and awoke feeling comfortable and rested, with no after effects at all.

Thanks for the responses.  I'll be sure to follow up with my doc on

the question of an endoscopy (I'm not sure, will she be doing that

when she does the colonoscopy??).  I know that Celiac Sprue is one

of the medical conditions she is exploring.  If it is to be truly

explored & eliminated, I want to make sure that it is thoroughly

explored. I'm fortunate to have good group coverage, with other

medical conditions I have, no on would cover me individually as it

is...  :-L

Some insurance companies will not authorize both procedures at

the same time. They want the negative results from one before

agreeing to pay for the next.
