Sara I too have GI and bowel problems. I recently had an endoscopy which the biopsy showed inflamed esphogaus and a healing ulcer in my stomach. I did have shingles 4 years ago in my esphogaus. I did not make the connection till I read it here on the board. I never had any health problems in my life till the day I had shingles. I have had one illness after another since. When I called my gastro to inform him of the IC he now wants me to come in and see him. Stay tuned......................
