I had a scope of my upper GI and they diagnosed my eosinophilic esophagitis. He said mine wasnt bad enough to stretch out. They can stretch out the strictures and make it bigger again, but he chose not to do mine. Not sure why he just didnt do it. Im still having problems and this started way back around 2012 or so. All of my big problems started after my heart attack.
Taking Pepcid, Famotadine, helps me and is what i do now.
Another huge thing, avoid alcohol and really spicy food. If I drink some alcohol, the next day I will have trouble swallowing. Its like clockwork.
Protonix, a proton pump inhibitor, worked better than Pepcid but gave me really bad leg cramps. It might be ok for you. Protonix is a script, while Pepcid is OTC. The script Pepcid the doc prescribed was 2x the dose of the OTC extra strength. So now sometimes I take double the dose, 2 pills in the AM and then 2 pills in the PM. Im now taking 2 in the AM and 1 in the PM.
