I know that it is a little late but I promised to share what John and I decided to do for Austin’s treatment for EE. His dosage of steroids has been increased from 440 micrograms to 880 micrograms a day. He is getting calcium supplements for the osteopenia. His diet will still exclude milk, eggs, nuts, fish, soy and wheat.
In 3 months (November) we will travel back to Cincinnati for a one day trip for and endoscope. If everything looks okay we will introduce back Milk in to his diet. We will give him Milk for a set period time and repeat the process of going back to Cincinnati for another scope and introducing back another food.
As far as the osteopenia he will continue on calcium supplements for a year and then we will go to Cincinnati for another DXA scan to see if his bone density has improved.
