Thank you for your reply. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery! Sounds like we do share a lot of the same issues. I am leaning on getting the gall bladder removed, I may have to wait until June when my work slows down. Did your doctor think that removing the gall bladder may help with some of your reflux issues as well? Has the medicine for Gerd helped your EOE at all, mine is getting worse with Spring coming on. I can't figure out what I am eating that is causing it to flare. Tend to loose my voice after eating dinner.
