I have been diagnosed with ELP No oral or skin problems. Any info would be greatly appreciated of anything that has helped prevent the strictures or foods to avoid or medications that have helped. Anyone see a rheumatologist? Thank you so much

Actually, it was a rheumatologist that authorized my use of Rituxan - it is apparently used for RA most often. I will be the first patient to try it to ELP in my medical plan as far as I know. I am hoping it extends the time between endoscopies with dilation - currently, I have to have them done every 4 months. I have my first infusion on Monday 14 Oct and will be happy to post my results.
