<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello Listmates, It's been almost two years since my CD diagnosis. My new GI wants me to have a Dxylose test; could you please enlighten me as to what this test involves and what it will show. I thought the follow-up consisted of blood work to detect if gluten is still in diet. I still have many related conditions, some of which (esophagitis &reflux) which where exacerbated by the diagnostic endoscopy. I also have pain in my right calf which gets worse when walking any distance or sitting. Three doctors later (they keep passing me around) still no answers, any ideas? Just what is the procedure (specific tests etc.) for follow-up at this stage? TIA, Jacqueline
