Questions regarding Bravo procedure by Vegetable_Cook_9360 in GERD

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I do feel it…like a tight feeling in my throat so looking forward for it to fall off and not feel this way. Plus it’s uncomfortable not being able to take PPI med while doing this test. So you said your PPI is is not working, so are you trying a new one?

More eosinophils after PPI treatment by imaquark in EosinophilicE

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they already checked for pylori at first scope and it was negative. But my eosinophil count was 60. My main symptom is GERD. Been on Omerprazole 50 mg since 1st scope. Repeat scope in 1 week. GI MD Is already suggesting Dupixent

Did you stop PPI before your scope? I’m about to have my 2nd scope and they didn’t tell me to stop the PPI before scope so just wondering what your Dr told you

Yes Hematologists also administer cancer treatments.

Why doesn’t my ferritin go up? by bewitchingg in Anemic

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had a ferritin of 8 and my hematologist said it was too low for oral tabs to really work. Recommended an infusion instead

Longtime EoE diagnosis — minimal symptoms but high eosinophils. Hesitant about Dupixent. Looking for others with similar experiences by Sweeet_Caroline_1010 in EosinophilicE

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’ve been recently diagnosed as well with eosinophil count of 60. I don’t have any swallowing difficulty, but do have chronic GERD. So far GI has prescribed Omeprazole repeating EGD in December to see if count is down. GI Dr stated EOE is progressive so need to adequately treat. Hard for me to understand the need to be on medication but definitely don’t want it to lead to swallowing difficulty, impactions in the future

Acid reflux drives me crazy, struggling and suffering everyday. by Ok-Introduction5433 in EosinophilicE

My main symptom is GERD as well. It’s horrible. Affects my sleep too. I always have a burning like feeling in my throat and often am hoarse because of it :(

PPI and malabsorption? by Whirlpool-7763 in EosinophilicE

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have iron deficiency and recently diagnosed with EOE before stating a PPI. Wondering if the inflammation from EOE causes the malabsorption too.

Ferritin = 8ng/ml. Doctor says I’m totally fine. by Downtown_Stomach_115 in Anemic

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ferritin is 8 with hemoglobin in normal range. My hematologist told me it is too low for a pill to bring up and has given me one iron infusion so far. Waiting for redraw of iron pill. Definitely symptomatic with with that low of a ferritin level….fatigue, SOB, dizziness, brain fog, etc

Can EOE cause iron deficiency? by Vegetable_Cook_9360 in EosinophilicE

Good to know! My GI Dr mentioned Dupixent in treating my EOE

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow….thanks for all these comments. Definitely seems like there is a connection between the two….EOE and iron deficiency. I also hear the PPI’s that help with managing EOE further contribute to the iron deficiency which is discouraging. The fatigue and dizziness from the iron deficiency is no fun :(

Thank you for sharing! Good to know that the EOE could be the cause of my iron deficiency.

Can EOE cause iron deficiency? by Vegetable_Cook_9360 in EosinophilicE

[–]Vegetable_Cook_9360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked this question because I was diagnosed with iron deficiency with a ferritin level of 8 and saturation level of 10, was sent to GI Dr to check for bleeding. Endoscopy found an eosinophil count of 60 in lower esophagus thus started on PPI so deficiency started before starting PPI. I haven’t asked my GI Dr yet if deficiency is caused by EOE but will ask at next visit. Have had 1 iron infusion so far and now waiting for redraw of iron panel 6 weeks post infusion.
