up to London again this time with my lovely ex-work collegue, made a busy day somewhat enjoyable (time to catch up). A good trip all in all. nice weather, appointments running to time and saw the consultant herself who has some new plans, including; starting ranitidine a reflux medicene to see if this helps, prescribing a calcium supplement he can chew as he is dairy free, repeating blood tests to look at blood count, kidney and liver function as standard, Ig levels as previously his IgE is raised and IgA and IgM low (therefore deficient), and others i'm afraid i can't remember.
She also explained about the surgery again - removal of adhesions and adhesional bands which she too agreed was most likelly causing some sort of blockage, especially as he is now symptoms free. Also looking at his MRI there are areas of malformation within the bowel/mesentery area.
He was very upset to be told he would have a blood test but was so brave when it was actually done and determined to laugh like i told him he had once done!
