[quote=Anonymous]OP again - what does an endocrinologist do? My GI doctor also asked me to check with my PCP for referral to get enzyme tests done.

My GI doctor was more concerned than the cyst clinic people, concerned enough to do the colonoscopy/endoscopy and an ultrasound (not endoscopic since she said specialists do that). U/S did not show anything (focus was gall bladder).

What my EGD/colonoscopy pathology results say:

1. Gastroesophageal junction biopsy:

-squamocolumnar mucosa with mild reflux type changes
-negative for barrett esophagus (intestinal metaplasia)
-historic features of eosinophilic esophagitis are not identified
- negative for dysplasia

Antrum and stomach body biopsy
- very mild gastritis
- negative for helicobacter, atrophy, metaplasia and dysplasia

second part of duodenum and distal bulb biopsy
- negative for histologic features of celiac sprue
- negative for acute or chronic inflammation
- negative for parasites including giardia
- negative for foveolar metaplasia

stomach body polypectomy
- fundic gland polyp
- negative for helicobacter, atrophy, metaplasia and dysplasia

whole colon biopsy
-negative for acute and chronic colitis

rectum polypectomy
- tubular adenoma[/quote]
