That all sounds awful for your quality of life and extremely frustrating. It also seems like you’ve tried everything. Can we assume you’ve been to an allergist?

Thanks for reaching out and trying to help. Yes, I’ve seen two allergists. I test negative on all blood panels for everything but also have a huge number of medication allergies— and am frequently having other allergic-type symptoms (I also have well-controlled asthma). I get rashes but they are assumed to be autoimmune. I also have other, bad GI problems including chronic iatrogenic pancreatitis, possible Crohn’s developing (most symptoms, positive antibodies but only inflammation on biopsy). Something is causing this but yeh, it’s frustrating when nobody can diagnose it. There have been “findings” that seem to explain things but at this point I should probably repeat the esophageal manometry (which wasn’t fun at all) and the barium swallow studies— just because they showed issues but were done before this really got like it is now. Thanks again for your suggestions.
