I understand not want to scope frequently. How long has it been since your last GI scope? If the last one was normal I would doubt something horrible just popped up in a short time.
The GI track is a complex system with many possible problems that can occur...that can share similar symptoms. What does your GI suggest at this point? Does he have any ideas?

The last one was not endoscopy. It was bronchoscopy last July -- finding was the MAC. After the abdomen cat scan in September -- result was normal -- GI Dr said it must only be benign. She asked to continue the Nexium, undergo Gi series and defer the endoscopy. After the upper gi the nurse called asking me to undergo an endoscopy. So I reminded him about the deferment I thought the Dr might just have forgotten what she said. The nurse said he 'll talk with the Dr. That was 1week ago.
