A member asked:
I am worried about the thickening of the food pipe that showed up on my ct scan will the medication my doctor gave me make it go and how will i know the thickening has gone?

Inadequate information; however the thickening may be due to inflammation that may go down with treatment. It is best you talk to your treating doctor there about thecause. I would say that if you are eating well to make sure to eat more of vegetables; and most likely they may be able to do a follow up if needed to see if the thickening went away. If no symptoms you should just live your best life
