Avatar n tn My 13 year old daughter has been recently diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis. The treatments of which has been the use of Flovent and an elemental diet (Elecare) have not been working. Her symptoms are immediate regurgetation or vomiting of EVERYTHING SHE EATS OR DRINKS. Water, vitamins, anything that goes in comes right back out. She has lost amlost 30 lbs but is somehow remaining steady for about a month now, thank God.
Avatar m tn The reason I ask this question, is in April 2011, after being on fairly high dose prednisone for 5 months and inhaled steriods, I had my endoscopy with biopsy for EE. The results came back negative at that time. Over time the symptoms all returned and by September EE is being discussed again as a possibility. Thanks for your help. And best of luck to each of you.
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 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 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.

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 m tn I have seen an allergist and have received the standard treatment for EE, it did nothing to help. How could I find out if my Eosinophilic Esophagitis is being caused by my Herpes infection? Is there any sort of test for that?
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 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 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 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.
Avatar m tn Keep in mind I had my endoscopy done before herpes was diagnosed. 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 I originally went to a GI doctor because I would feel very full after eating only a small meal, almost always in the evenings. After an endoscopy, it was discovered that I have eosinophilic esophagitis. However, many of the symptoms I don't have. I never have food stuck in my throat or have trouble swallowing... Here are the symptoms that I have on a regular basis. I feel very full in the evenings, and the bloated sensation can last for hours.
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.
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 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?
Avatar m tn ve had breathing issues and eosinophilic esophagitis show up since all of this started 3 years ago.

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 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!
Avatar m tn m attributing these to food allergies and my recent diagnosis of an eosinophilic disorder. (Eosinophilic esophagitis; no word on whether this extends to eosinophilic gastritis, but for the moment I'm presuming it does.
