Common Questions and Answers about Singulair and eosinophilic esophagitis

singulair

Avatar n tn s a lot of medications but it seems to be the only regimen that works even just a little bit and we tried many variations. (He takes Claritin and Singulair for the allergies, and is also getting allergy shots/immunotherapy.) I would take care to give your daughter the liquids that she likes--my son can't take his pills with water for some reason. It makes him retch. He drinks soy milk or even vitamin water or even sparkling water works for him.
Avatar f tn I went to an allergist who is having me tested for food allergies and suggested I take h1 as well as h2 antihistamines. He suggested I might have Eosinophilic Esophagitis which is an inflamed esophagus due to an allergic reaction. I found this website if you want to read up on it: http://ezinearticles.com/?What-is-Eosinophilic-Esophagitis?&id=2289454. It sure seems to fit the description of my symptoms.
Avatar n tn I am trying to find answers to resistant h.pylori, eosinophilic esophagitis, and severe acid reflux. Antibiotics, steriods, prevacid, and several other medications were used to no avail. The esophogal lining is severely decreased... Vomiting and stomach upset are prevalent. I'm looking for dos and donts for these conditions and any successful treatments. Thank you!
Avatar m tn Listed right under causes on this website http://www.medicinenet.com/eosinophilic_esophagitis/article.htm#what_is_and_what_causes_eosinophilic_esophagitis I developed a breathing issue in May 13', by July 13' I had an endoscopy performed and they found signs of Eosinophilic Esophagitis, , , finally by Nov 13' I realized that I had not been tested for Herpes back in May when all of it started, and found out I was Herpes + (both 1 and 2). To this day I have NEVER had an outbreak.
Avatar m tn So, two years ago I went to see a GI doctor because I was having severe stomach pain. He decided to do an endoscopy to see what was going on and discovered that I had GERD and eosinophilic esophagitis. I was then put on Protonix, 40mg once a day, and scoped a year later. The scope last year revealed that I had Barrett's Esophagus as-well as eosinophilic esophagitis and also Schatzki Rings. So, I was raised to 40mg twice a day on the Protonix.
Avatar f tn Three years ago I was diagnosed with LPR after coughing for a year. I am coughing again now since before Christmas, so had another endoscopy. The biopsies showed that my esophagus is lined with eosinophils. The doctor didn't think it was eosinophilic esophagitis because my main symptom is coughing. I have had choking issues but it is not a constant thing. I have had eosinophilc pneumonia and also am hypothyroid and have interstitial cystitis.
Avatar n tn Hello, I cannot think of any condition associoated with both urticaria and difficulty swallowing except eosinophilic esophagitis. Symptoms of EE can range from severe heartburn, difficulty swallowing, food impaction in the esophagus, nausea, vomiting and weight loss to urticarial rash.Mostly, patients with eosinophilic esophagitis suffer from food allergies also. Diagnosis is obtained during an upper GI endoscopy where biopsies are taken of the esophagus.
574423 tn?1258658571 A lot of information on eosinophilic esophagitis can be found on Medscape - sign in and query the search function. The SAA is not really that rare. If you google, you'll find a number of references to it. You won't find any large papers on it unless you're able to access a medical website like UpToDate, which is a subscription service. What do you need to know about SAA?
Avatar m tn Recently I had an endoscopy done and the biopsy showed that I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis. I am slightly hopeful that this may be the cause to my chest pains, excess gas, and overall feeling of ******-ness. My gastroenterologist referred me to an allergist and I have an appointment with them on Friday. However I'm wondering if there's any other type of Dr.
1108194 tn?1378424522 My son has Eosinophilic Esophagitis and we just had blood work done because of his fatigue. His Anti-SS Dna test results were 419. Way over the range of 0-99. I was told that it could be from the EoE but I cannot find any information that leads me to this conclusion. Only that it could be an auto-immune disease. My primary wants to send him to a pediatric rheumatologist. Would a rheumatologist be able to diagnose autoimmune or if its caused by EoE?
Avatar n tn I've had on-and-off mild nausea, including two episodes of vomitting. To check for possible gallbladder problems I had an abdominal ultrasound. The report showed a normal gallbladder but "inhomogeneous pancreas". The doctor has ordered amylase, lipase, and liver function blood work. I have been on proton pump inhibitors for years for GERD and eosiniphilic esophagitis. It's weeks before I can see the gastroenterologist.
Avatar f tn I have Eosinophilic esophagitis, Progressive Peripheral neuropathy, Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and now low Oxygen saturation. Any thoughts for the root cause?
Avatar n tn I too have been suffering for about 17 years for what I thought and still am thinking is acid reflux. I did fine for many years taking zantac and or prilosec. I lost 55 lbs and everything went away even though I stayed on zantac because I could feel some shortness of breath if I didn't take it. I gained about 30 lbs back and this past summer all the meds stopped working. My biggest problem with my Gerd from the start is that I feel like my food gets stuck in my throat or down in my chest.
Avatar f tn Hi, haven't you been checked out for Eosinophilic Esophagitis? That won't show up on any scan, they have to do a biopsy by taking small snips with an endoscope. It's caused by certain immune cells running amok: eosinophils and mast cells. It's an 'emerging disease', i.e. it's known only fairly recently. See if this sounds like you: https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/eosinophilic-esophagitis/ ...not only the symptoms but also it being mistaken for GERD.
Avatar m tn What medicines have you or your children been on for this? My 3 year old son was just diagnosed with EE this past August, and he's been using Flovent 1 puff twice a day since then. The last month or two I've noticed that he has been extremely aggressive, agitated, and just plain mean and disrespectful. I am 100% sure it is due to the Flovent. Is there an alternative I should be asking for? Will all of the EE medicines give his just such a reaction since they are all going to be steroids?
Avatar m tn Can herpes esophagitis be mistaken for eosinophilic esophagitis? The eosinophils were only elevated in blood back when I first contracted virus in May, and biopsy of esophagus tissue was high for eosinophils. However here we are in December and the back of my throat is still swollen and inflamed as ever. If it is herpes esophagitis, I'll never be able to cure it correct?
Avatar n tn My 18 month old son was recently diagnosed with Eosinophilic colitis and is currently taking sodium chromoglicate and citirizine. We have eliminated dairy and eggs from his diet. It has helped slightly but if his symtoms continue we will need to tak out soya and wheat aswell.
Avatar n tn The stomach emptying study came back regular, and the endoscopies always come back with eosinophilic esophagitis. The first diagnosis put me on Aciphex for almost 2 years. After, I was able to stop taking the medicine and had no issues for 3-4 years. Then symptoms started to return. This time, I was put on Nexium (twice a day, before breakfast and dinner). The nexium seemed to help, but really reduced my appetite.
Avatar f tn He has, Hypogammaglobulenmia , Eosinophilic Esophagitis (allergy in esophagus), Pots syndrome (heart), and in the last 6 months has debilitating knee pain and fatigue. They did a smudge test and found cells. His ALT is 146 , AST is 112. His Lymphocyte Abs is 5741. Im sick inside, I can't eat, I can't sleep, Im so scared!!! He will see Oncologist/ Hematologist on April 8th. For now we just wait. Any any any advice would be soooooooooo appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar n tn now i had an egd procedure. throat came back good with them taking a biopsy to rule out eosinophilic esophagitis. found erythematous mucosa with no bleeding in gastric antrum. it said gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema. what all does this mean?
533880 tn?1237612452 This biopsy is saying that there are cellular changes in the esophagus above the muscular sphincter leading into the stomach (LES - lower esophageal sphincter) that suggest she's refluxing acid into the stomach. The thing I would question is the mention of rare eosinophils. In some cases, the appearance of some eosinophils may suggest the beginning of eosinophilic esophagitis which could signal allergic reactions that could mimic reflux issues.
Avatar m tn ve had breathing issues and eosinophilic esophagitis show up since all of this started 3 years ago.

Avatar n tn I just read yesterday about Eosinophilic Esophagitis, which is a relatively new diagnosis and is caused from an allergy to certain foods or even airborne substances or pets. I have a relatively new pet (cat) in the home since Nov. so I'm wondering if I've developed an allergy to him, or to a food. My gastroenterologist didn't mention anything about an allergy being a possibility. I hope to find relief soon!
393685 tn?1425812522 Its very strange that a great many of them -hyper and hypo- have acid reflux, GERD, or other upper GI problems. I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis in June of last year. In the middle of all this thyroid stuff! EE is a condition that causes there to be a buildup of eosinophils (allergic white blood cells) in the lining of your esophagus. Its links to severe food allergies. I get chest pain, trouble breathing, and GERD from it.
