Hello all, I am back. It has been a strange journey. Started with horrible stomach pain that resulted in a gall bladder surgery, which didn't change much. No after may second endoscopy my gastro says that my esophagus is showing some redness at the LES, he took several biopsy and the results were negative for cancer.
I went to another gastro at the Mayo Clinic, he looked at the pictures that had was concerned that it may be the onset of Barrets, he wants to do another endoscopy and a Baro test and a series of other test. The problem is the Mayo is about 170 miles from home. So I go back to my home town gastro, ask him about all the test and what the results will be, which I am sure will be my body is making too much bile, and the treatment will be to double up on OTC Prilosec, which I have done.
The first gastro says that the LES has good tension so a stomach wrap and all that stuff would not be necessary.
I was tested for H-pylori and ut was negative.
It just seems that there a lot of people that are suffering from the same symptoms in different stages, is there some sort of new bug that is affecting a lot of people that doctors have not discovered?
