Guest guest Posted January 5, 2000 Report Share Posted January 5, 2000 Thanks a bunch for the responses to my panic attack yesterday! I know that iel does have reflux in addition to the allergic issues, but both GI and Allergist think we should have had better improvement on prilosec ( scope went from severe to moderate, and was still active in mid and upper esophagus), they were convinced before this scope that he had never had true reflux, but the pediatrician, pulmonary doctor and I all thought differently. The ph probe showed that acid was fully managed on prilosec, and I'm not willing to talk about a Nissen at this point. iel doesn't have enough foods that don't make him actively sick to live on, even aside from the " hidden' symptom of esophagitis. so elemental diet was the right decision. He is gaining, he isn't chronically complaining of his tummy hurting the way he did, I'm just not sure we have him as good as he can get before we start trying to go back and add food. He has been really sick with a lot of viruses that last two months, so its hard for me to see him as healthy, although it may be his environmental allergies, meds, and viral illnesses are the cause of the remaining symptoms I see. Thanks again, Vicki, mom to iel, age 4, EE/EG? lots of allergies, asthma, reflux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
