My concern/fear as of a few minutes ago is aspergillus. I bought a new brand of trail mix with nuts and dried fruit. I just read that the mix of nuts and fruits can have mold and could be the mold aspergillus.
Going to call and see if Urgent Care can do the proper blood work to test for aspergillus.
Did you have food allergy testing to find out about the gluten intolerance.?
Obviously with our having BE we are much more susceptible to many things we weren't susceptible to before and since we are all different it may bring to the surface different problems for us.
I am also going to call this week to arrange for food allergy testing. Did the environmental testing over a year ago.
I will be emailing my pulmonologist also and will follow through with doctors to get the blood testing done.
Thanks for your response.

Could be hives or contact dermatitis/heat rash. Any new topical treatments, soap, lotion, detergents etc? Candida and thrush are skin related and can be a side effect from the big 3. If you do have aspergillus testing done that does take 5-7 days to get results. I don’t know how the blood testing corresponds with sputum testing (or a bronchoscopy) to confirm or rule out Aspergillus other than maybe it hasn’t spread to the blood? Hope you get relief and answers soon.
