what kind of problem would they think he had with his pyloris? pyloric stenosis would be blatantly obvious long before now–so it can’t be that, plus, he would be projectile vomiting all the time and would not be gaining any weight–but his weight isn’t that bad. obviously it didn’t show any problem with his intestines, such as torsion–or they would have seen that.
an upper gi really doesn’t diagnose reflux—plus, you’ve already had a ph probe and a scope that showed only mild reflux. what were the results of his biopsies? they did do biopsies when they did the scope, didn’t they?
what about the results of his ph probe? i don’t think you’ve ever told us what the results of either of these tests were, besides mild reflux, which would be relatively normal.
How ,many reflux episodes did he have during his ph probe? were any of his reflux episodes considered to be extended episodes? what was his overall % of reflux? you should be able to get a report that tells all of this information. you should also be able to ask for a copy of the graph that was done during his ph probe–you have to make sure and ask specifically for the graph or all they will give you is the docs interpretation. really, you want both of these reports, though.
it just doesn’t seem like anything they are doing or saying is making any sence—and your docs seem to be condradicting each other. i haven’t figured out why you haven’t gotten away from these people yet. they don’t sound like they know what they are doing.
how come the GI docs never mentioned that they suspected anything about his pylorois or intestines to YOU before this time—they’ve been seeing him for quite a few months.
