Did your doctor not give you a scrip or any guidance when s/he diagnosed you?
Generally...
Try to avoid large rich meals, particularly in the evening and this will reduce the tendency to reflux.
Chocolate, peppermint, coffee, fruit juices and alcohol prevent the oesophageal sphincter from working properly.
Constipation increases the tendency to reflux by raising pressure inside the stomach cavity.
Try to lose weight if you are overweight, avoid large, high-fat meals and ,bedtime snacks, limit coffee intake, reduce alcohol consumption, stop smoking.

If the symptoms are not frequent - less than five times a month - they can be treated with over-the-counter medications such as antacids and histamine antagonists. Your doctor or pharmacist will be able to provide advice about the most appropriate ones for you.  (+ info)

Do you have eosinophilic esophagitis?


I have just been diagnosed with this disease and was wondering how many other people have it.
I also took an allergy test, and it showed I was not allergic to anything.
----------

My two year old son has it. He was diagnosed with it about 8 months ago and has been on several different medications (cingulair, nexium, prevacid, inhaler) Basically the medicine is to try and help the eosinophils (white blood cells) go away. We found that he was alergic to eggs and wheat so we pretty much eliminated those from his diet and he seems to be doing well.  (+ info)

scratch the Prilosec. Go with Zantac 150 mg. Miracle.

Start slurping some vegetable boullion along with saltine crackers. Or decaf herbal tea and crackers or dry toast. Have some gatorade and lots of water.

Try some acidopholus to restore friendly bacteria and do this once a day for about 5 days. This is also miraculous.  (+ info)

----------

esophagitis means inflammation of the esophagus [throat inside].
dysfunction--not function correctly of course
cricopharyngeal--what I found on it was difficulty swallowing. It is a little ring muscle at the top of the esophagus. When you swallow the rings opens a little in a split second to let food or drink through to the stomach.  (+ info)

Any body Know About Esophagitis?


I have Esophagitis and want to know if any body has had it and how they got rid of it. also what was the cause of it. I am on carafate right now. any good suggestions.
----------

The drugs won't cure your esophagitis unless you just care about the symptoms.
If acid reflux is causing the inflammation you have to figure out what is causing it.
Overweight? puts pressure on the stomach
Age? chances are higher as you age
Wrong diet?

Elevate your bed (head) about 8" This will keep the acid from washing up into the throat as you sleep

Eat yogurt or better yet, Kefir. It will add more good bacteria to the digestive track. Good digestion is important

Eat the peel of an organic orange. Just a small piece whenever the burning starts. Surprisingly, this isn't too bad to eat. Chew it up well, then swallow. This works best for me.

Honey and apple cider vinegar help, too. A tablespoon of each in a glass of warm water. Twice a day.

Someone told me red delicious apples work. don't know about that.

Keep a diary of your food intake and make notes about reactions, if any.
This takes a little time, but it sure beats medicating for your lifetime.  (+ info)

I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE) I got a question?


Okay so I am only 13 and I have to go on a total elimination diet and am scared. Has anyone out there had to go through it? How hard is it? How long did it take to find what you were allergic to? Will you tell me everything you went through so I know what to expect? I really want to know.
----------

Yup, been there. It takes a while, because you'll want to introduce new foods slowly, one at a time, to make sure that when you have a reaction, you know exactly what's causing it. It will suck, seriously, and you will hate it, but it is worth it in the long run. Don't give in to the temptation to cheat, because it will totally defeat the purpose of what you're trying to do. Be strong, be brave, and be proud of yourself for having the will power to carry through with something with long term benefits and short-term hardships. The hardest part will be sugar withdrawal, which will make you moody and headachey and generally achey, but it will pass in about a week. My advice is to find a good distraction, like reading or good friends, and just totally invest yourself in that.

I ended up being allergic to only a few things, while my mom and my sister had a good number of bad ones. It was really hard, I won't lie to you, and at the time I resented my mom for making us do it. But, as I got older, I realised how benefitial it had been--my sister, who is a serious asthmatic, was always in and out of the hostpital before the diet, but after, and still now, she does extremely well, and while she still uses medication, she hasn't been to the hospital since. That, for our family, was no small miracle. So try not to hold a grudge against your parents or your doctor. It may suck, and royally so, but beleive me that it will be worth it!  (+ info)
