If you or your child experiences pain while eating, you may start using certain strategies or eating habits to try and lessen that pain. But this could hide the fact that you or your child may have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). EoE is a chronic allergic or immune condition that causes swelling in your esophagus (swallowing tube). About 1 in 2,000 people have EoE.1
Join us for a webinar titled, “Difficulty Eating? Speak Up, Don’t Adapt! It Could Be Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE),” on Thursday, July 27, 2023, at 3 p.m. ET. Mirna Chehade, MD, MPH, and Founding Director of the Mount Sinai Center for Eosinophilic Disorders, will be joined by a dietitian, a person with EoE, and a patient advocate for the one-hour long live online event.
The program will cover:
- Common eating habits used to reduce pain and why you should tell your doctor about that pain
- Diets and medicines used to treat EoE, including their benefits and limits
- How to take an active role in your or your child’s EoE care
- And much more!
The expert panel will answer questions from the audience during the live session. Send in your questions now. Here are some examples:
- If my child has both eczema and asthma, could they also develop EoE?
- Can stress trigger EoE?
- Is chronic hoarseness or constant throat-clearing a symptom of EoE?
