As discussed in details below.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your history about Endoscopy and gastric emptying test, blood work and they tell you that you have all symptoms of - internal scleroderma -wants to know how to be sure about it- 2 Doctors feel so...
Only biopsy and/or MRI/CT scan can tell you this for sure. You can discuss it with Radiologist, I am also consulting my Radiologist.
Please insist for the investigations to get the correct diagnosis.

I hope this answers your specific query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communications so that we can discuss further.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
