My husband is having attacks that start with pain in his upper stomach, then he has constant diarrhea, then violently vomits during this time he is profusely sweating and has a drop in temperature. A year ago he had his gallbladder removed because of similar attacks. He has had almost every test done and the doctors don't have an answer. The attacks have stopped for now, he is taking 500mg of Pentasa 4 times a day and Nexium 2 times a day. He will have a camera endoscopy next week. I have a copy of his records and am not sure what the biopsies are saying. I wanted to see if anyone understood.
Duodonum Biopsy:
Fragments of small bowel mucosa with chronic active duodenitis and foci of villous blunting Intraepithelial lymphocytes are seen in surface epithelium.
Gastric fundus biopsy:
Fragments of congested gastric fundic mucosa, partially denuded of surface epithelium with mild acute chronic inflammation.
I think I can understand the rest of the biopsy results. I am really curious what these two mean. I feel like the doctors are not addressing anything. They insist that he has all of the symptoms of chrons disease yet all the test have been negative for it. I feel like they are only concentrating on finding this one thing and might be missing something else. Any imput would be great!!!
Thanks
