Good, I'm glad you've found something that is working.
This is an update to what I wrote on Jan. 25. I thought it may help someone else. I don't believe that i have the eosinophilic esophagitis. Thankfully, I have not had to have another scope. I have lost almost 25 pounds. Insurance wouldn't pay for Protonix. Went back to Prilosec. Have now switched to Prevacid and so far that has been working. I am feeling much better. I think I had an erosive esophagus again. Not overeating, losing weight and taking prevacid (AT least 1/2 hour before eating breakfast as said before) is helping me. I am still cautious about what I'm eating, but haven't had a major "scary" episode of having that food stuck in my throat feeling.
No I haven't had a swallow study. The last EGD I had was 8 years ago. So this EE was something i just read about. Probably getting ready to have another EGD thought since protonix isn't working. However, just read on another post how the proton inhibitors need to be taken 1/2 hour or an hour before eating. I was taking it with breakfast because it said take with or without food. So.........I will try that and see. ????
Welcome to the gastroenterology community! Eosinophilic esophagitis is tested for by taking a biopsy during an EGD. This would have shown up on your previous EGD's so I am pretty sure you don't have EE. Have you had a swallow study?
