Capsule endoscopy is: For small bowel evaluation where upper or lower endoscopy can't reach. It may give you information regarding the rest of small bowel.

In your case the better test is mr enetrography or a ct abd/pel with volumen contrast. Your GI doc should decide on further testing.

Accepted Answer

Maybe a dystrophy: 50% of recurrent erosionsare due to a condition called epithelial basement membrane dystrophy. This is treatable condition. See your ophthalmologist.

Question 8

why might i continually have corneal erosions?

Accepted Answer

Question 9

do you suffer from recurrent corneal erosions?

Accepted Answer

Sort of: This is a condition following corneal abrasion in which the surface of the cornea (the epithelium) has defective adhesion and lifts up a little reproducing the symptoms or rarely actually recreating the abrasion.  It is very uncomfortable so those who have it 
'suffer' to some degree.  There is fairly effective control and treatment but it can be a persistent problem.

Question 10

can you tell me about recurrent corneal erosions?

Accepted Answer

Recurrent erosion: Usually occurs subsequent to ocular trauma or epithelial disease. New tissue healing over old does not bond like the original, so dry eye or rubbing can redetach the healed area, or reinjure the eye. Uusally treat with lubricants.
