Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, 15 eoss in the biopsy, per se is insufficient information to provide a meaningful opinion. If you are overweight, losing weight would help with GERD. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
