Dr H Patel thinks logically given the varied physiologies that people have. He agreed to lower my dose of Omeprazole instead of being rigid like my last Gastro doc. And he agreed to experiment to see if my EOE is very mild or not by not taking my meds all the time. I have stopped it before for 5 days so I could get my hemoglobin high enough to donate blood with no drawbacks.
