Guest guest Posted March 18, 2000 Report Share Posted March 18, 2000 Hi all, had his EGD yesterday. His esophagus is still inflamed (surprise surprise). We are now considering two options. trying the flovent puffs, or an elemental formula. Steph & l, I know you have tried the flovent, and as I recall it wasn't succesful. Do you know why? I there anyone who has tried the flovent with success? Also, since has never had any symptoms of food allergy (other than the inflamtion of esophagus) and has tested negative to all foods, how can we be sure it is truely food? That is why we may conisder a short course of formula wityh another egd to see if that clears him up. He did respond to a 3 week course of high dose prednisone, and that is the only time we ever saw any improvement. This is so frustrating because I hate to keep putting him through all the scopes (he's had 7 or 8). I feel like I just don't have anything to work with. If he would just test positive for food, or have some other symptoms we would know. Please let me know your opinions about the flovent, and idea of trial elemental diet. It's a beautiful day here in San Diego, and I am heading out the door with my boys to Little League. TIA, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
