Re: endoscopy reports normal with diagnosis = EG?

[Guest guest]

Joy,

When my 12 yr. old son was first diagnosed, the tissues in his esophagus,

stomach and intestines all looked healthy. But the biopsy results came

back showing high eosinophils in all three organs. The second time he was

biopsied, all three organs had normal eos counts (he'd been on steriods for

4.5 months). The third time he was biopsied (5.5 months after stopping

steroids), all tissues in all organs looked healthy. But the biopsy for

the esophagus came back with a high eos count. The other two organs had

normal eos counts. Shane has not had his colon scoped or biopsied, but

they will scope it the next time he needs to be scoped. You can certainly

share this with your doctor.

Thanks,

Lynn

biopsy results showed eos.? I'm collecting information to give my doctor so

he maybe will consider biopsying my esophagus >>

's first endo the Dr. said his esophagas looked ok, but they woiuld

see what the biopsies showed. They came back with eos. His last endo in Dec.

looked good, and after being on flovent for a few months, the biopsies came

back with eo's gone. He will be having another endo in 9 days, I'll let you

know how that goes.

This is what is happening with my 12 yr. old . once we started

devreasing his flovent and started intal, his symptoms started again. Is your

son eating food still? Does he have food allergies? Is he taking meds now?

will have another endo on the 24th. to see if the eo's are back.

Thank you, Lynn and Cathy. I will of course not share names or email

addresses with the doc, just the stories.

Thanks again,
