Hello doctor,My daughter has had recurring vomiting and stomach cramping intermittently since the last eight months. Barium meal has shown 'gastritis' with a possible duodenal band and the small bowel series reflects some matting of the Ileum. I am not sure what all of this means and the tests do not appear to provide a conclusive diagnosis.
Hello. Gastritis reflects simply a consequence of chronic acidity and for that, I suggest the following : Now, the term matting of ileum creates a doubt about the possibility of Crohn's disease, which is an Inflammatory bowel disease. I suppose she needs a CT (computed tomography) scan as well as a colonoscopy for further evaluation. I hope it helps you. If you have any further queries, please ask me.
