My DD 13 has been diagnosed with this amongst other things. Does anyone have any experience?

Has whoever diagnosed it suggested any help?

They have said about cognitive behavioural therapy, but we have been on the waiting list for 3 months now.
DD was diagnosed with peptic ulcers and chronic gastritis in October last year, then in December had another endoscopy which showed that had cleared up but she had severe oesophagitis.

Some areas recommend computerised CBT, do you think this might be something that can help your DD in the interim?

Thanks candy, I'd never heard of this. I have had a look online and will speak to our doctors to see if it's something that they would recommend.
It's so horrible watching her in so much pain and not being able to do anything!

Sounds frustrating. Sad
I'm not saying it's the be all and end all but it might give your DD some support in the mean time. Have they discussed going to a pain clinic?

No, I will have a look into that. She's losing so much weight again and can't sleep from the pain

Poor thing. Sad What tests has she had?

Has she had biopsies for Eosinophilic gastro disease?
