Guest guest Posted April 29, 1999 Report Share Posted April 29, 1999 Remember, the sympotms of EG/EE mimic gastroesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel. There certainly may be something to a family with reflux being predisposed to EE or EG.My husband also has reflux/indigestion significant at times. We scoped him and NO eos. The difference in EE/EG and GERD/IBS seems to be that we do not respond to any meds, become seriously ill from it. I would think that if some of you with GERD symptoms actually did have EE/EG you would have been through tons of GI testing/scopes and numerous hospitalizations (I wound up on TPN twice before my diagnosis and had over 30 hospitalizations throughout my life. If any of you are concerned about EE/EG, you need only get to a GI and get scoped. THe answer is easily obtained. My thoughts. (idiopathic eosinophilic esophagitis, GT, former TPN'r) and mom to five boys, all with EE, three with GTs and one on TPN (kody) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
