@yooper1949 I am so sorry to hear of your experience. You are the only person that has reached out who has had this condition. It is my daughter who suffered. She lives in rural Northern California and had to be airlifted to SF. She was in the hospital for 10 days. After several endoscopies and other tests, they placed 2 “endoclips” and so far they seem to be holding. The medical professionals did not give her any information about restricting her diet, but she is anyway. She is anemic from all the blood loss and will need iron infusions. Her primary is following her closely at this time.

@swampkid I went through a major ordeal, I felt at the time it was the end. I prayed to get better so I could watch my grandkids grow up and here I am. I remember it like it happened yesterday. Your daughter is the only other person I ever heard of having a lesion. The Dr coterized it, He said if I was a smoker that would have been a difficult fix. Its a long story so I will leave it at his point.
