Thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate it!❤️
Yes I have had esophageal endoscopy with biopsies. As a result I was diagnosed with ELP etc... The biopsies caused a lot of swelling in my esophagus.
Prior to having endoscopy I was fighting a terrible case of candida for a few months! It was so bad I couldn't eat anything!
I ended up in the hospital with critically low sodium level. It was frightening!
That's why I was referred to the Gastro doctor a year ago.
Now the gastro doctor wants to do another endoscopy for biopsies again and to likely stretch my esophagus. I'm scared because the Gastro doctor told me there's a risk my esophagus could tear.
I thank you again for responding to me! I have felt so alone with this since it is extremely rare.
Thank you so much! ❤️

May I ask which Mayo clinic you go to?
