Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 Hi, well we saw the new GI doctor yesterday. Boy what a waste of a trip. First he started off telling me that he doesn't believe in eosinophilic gastroenteritis, he says everyone has eosinophils if you get the right spot. Ok, never mind the fact that the diagnosis was confirmed by 4 other GI doctors and all of his biopsies from his gut had eosinophils. That didn't give me a good feeling to begin with. Then he says that he is HORRIFIED to find out my son has spent 80% of his life on high dose Prednisone. He says that keeping BJ out of pain and uninflammed is not worth the side effects of Prednisone. So, then he says, " you have any questions? " like he is done. So, I said what should I do about his stomach pain all the time and tbe fact that he won't eat hardly at all. He said that we should teach BJ to just DEAL with it! Can you believe this? He says we need to feed him things that are high in fat and when the inflammation is down enjoy it and when it is inflammed and his stomach is hurting him, we should tell him that we are sorry that his tummy hurts. Boy, what a day! On a good note, we had our inspection of our old house yesterday and cleared without owing a cent. This is amazing since our washer leaked and vibrated and destroyed the laundry room floor and we had a bottle of furniture stripper explode inside our utility room cabinet. Luckily, we got a very nice inspector who took into consideration that we lived there 5 years.
