Endoscopy again?

    Hi guys,

    I had an endoscopy done in March, I was feeling quite bloated and etc., but in the end my doctor couldn't find anything. He told me that my oesophagus and stomach were OK, he even took biopsies and didn't find anything either. However, I got the biopsy results two months after I had it done, so I'm not sure if it was accurate or if he had lost my results and just said that I was OK so I would stop bothering him.

    Anyways, sometimes I keep feeling the same things, and now it got even worse because, sometimes, I get acid reflux during the evenings. I went back to a different GP and he's prescribed me some medication and I feel a bit better, but yesterday, for example, I had a bag of crisps during the afternoon and that was it, I couldn't eat anything else afterwards, because I was feeling bloated and was burping the crisps the whole evening. So I wonder if there is a way that he got my results wrong during the endoscopy or he might have missed something? Is it possible? Have you guys ever had to do an endoscopy again because you were having the same symptoms?

    Thanks!

    this may seem like a stupid point to make but if there were odonnels crisps i cant eat them as they give me very bad reflux.

    go back to your GP and explain,

    try to keep a food diary a long with your symptoms as they could match up something.
