Apr 2 20I have been diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis following an endoscopy where biopsies revealed this. Nov 1 20Eosinophilic fasciitis is a very rare condition in which muscle tissue underneath the skin, called fascia, becomes swollen and thick. Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an emerging worldwide immune-mediated disease characterized by intense eosinophil infiltration of the esophageal mucosal epithelium that is refractory to acid-suppressive therapy and often associated with significant tissue remodeling. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome can cause many more symptoms than hypermobility and stretchy skin it can affect the gastrointestinal system and cause extreme pain and discomfort.
Is there anyone else out there with eds who went in for endoscopy thinking they only had GERD but then came back finding out the have eosinophilic esophagitis? If you have ever experienced problems with your GI system due to your EDS (or a comorbid condition know your). There are several types of EDS, and all of them have slightly different presentations. The common thread is that they are all caused by a defect in collagen or other connective tissues.
